    Can you post a photo. I don't expect it is mold unless the flask has been opened. It is probably roots. (I hope!)

    Cheers,

    Yes! It could quite possibly be roots!

    How long as the flask been sealed? If its been quite some time then it would be difficult for a pathogen to invade the flask. Generally contamination will present itself quite swiftly.
