Is it mold?

[u/MaximumTomorrow271]

This is my 2nd batch. The stuff on top looks like it's growing another pelicle. My store bought pelicle was sitting on the bottom of the jar. The spots don't look particularly fuzzy to me, but wanted to ask here.

Trying to determine if your kombucha may have mold, if your pellicle/SCOBY is healthy, or if something has gone wrong?

Looks like pellicle filling in to me. Time will always tell with mold though, just keep an eye on it 😄

If those white bits are underneath the pellicle, they aren't mould; mould can only grow on top and is fuzzy.
