Green Mould

[IanA2]

I've been stripping some leaf and noticed a fair few leaves have a green cuprous coloured marks which I think is mould. Is this ok to use or does it need to be binned?

Do you have any pictures? It might just be green spots.

What you're describing is mildew. It's safe to smoke the leaf, but may affect the flavor and leaf texture.

No , it's definitely not green spots.

Thanks, I think you're right. I guess that given the amount, it won't affect the flavour too much. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't inhaling some well known no-no

Maybe it's Blue Mold. Need a pic to be sure. Tobacco with blue mold is ok to shred and use, as long as there is not too much of it.

If it was flue cured it may have some green from pressing against the racks during curing .
It is curing color setting the green in the leaf .
