Default Mold problems in cut bamboo

Can anyone tell me what kind of mold this is on the inside of my cut bamboo?

When I fell a pole to use to make these didgeridoo's I cut the pole into the lengths I will need for the didge's. I then roast them immediately over a very hot fire which turns the bamboo from green to a nice caramel color. Only occasionally I get this issue... Is the mold dangerous? Is there a treatment I can do to prevent it?



Thanks!


This is surface mold: http://www.guaduabamboo.com/bamboo-mold.html which you can easily wipe off. It usually doesn't re-occur once the bamboo is completely dried out.
