mould on sausage

My chorizos have been drying now for 4 days.

They now develop some smaller flecks of a white mould. Upon close inspection, the mould consists of tiny white hairs.

I inoculated the sausages with mold harvested from a commercial salami, but I am not sure whether this is the same mould. I can't find these tiny hairs on the salami I harvested from (but this salami is completely white, so maybe it's just hard to see. )

On the internet, I read about ``powdery'' white mould, which is typically regarded as good. What about the white mould with the tiny hairs?

Often mould starts a bit hairy before becoming powdery, so I wouldn't worry for the time being.
