Default what is this white growth on wet black walnut not fully dehusked

At the moment I think I may have bypassed one of the time consuming
operations of drying
and roasting. I dehusked a bucket last week and seeing if it will just
naturally dry out in the
back room, and so far good news in that the upper layers are becoming
dry. So maybe I
do not have to put the wet nuts on the wood stove top and dry the
nuts.


No, I am wrong about that, I remember now in some past years ago, I
had
a bucket of them that were wet without the woodstove treatment, and
getting closer to the bottom of the bucket was massive whitish looking
some kind of fungus or mold or some growth. Whitish looking growth.
Anyone know what that whitish growth is? So I have to give them
the woodstove roasting treatment otherwise the nuts are covered
in some white growth.
