Goooseberries look mouldy
 

I've planted a gooseberry bush in the last few months and it has fruited
recently. However, the lower fruit looks mouldy. Someone told me it is a
mildew bloom and that I can wipe it off and still use the fruit. Thing is,
why is it there in the first place? This plant is surrounded by a mulch of
wood chippings and it has been suggested that I haven't given it enough
water.
