My guess is that you have some strain of fungus growing in your kitchen. My
guess is that it'll go away in a short while or it may linger for years. I
had some fungus that attacked my cooked rice in my kitchen. That went on for
years. It went away because for a time, I stopped cooking rice.

The first bad tomatoes came to me that way. I just couldn't see the rotten
part when I bought them. Fred Meyer fungus? Ew.

We have had very rainy weather here and the humidity has been high. Could be
that I suppose.
