Once that stem is removed, that open area is more suseptible to mold. Now it's just a matter of finding the right time span.

Oh, also, the (clear) plastic bag was in direct sunlight in the afternoon as it was next to a window - I wonder if the light had anything to do with it?
Stems were left on Bob, and thanks for the info on the softening - no mold on the hanging ones and I think the moisture in the somewhat water tight environment had a factor on the mold and since paper breathes better...
