Do these Trichocereus Bridgesii cuttings look moldy

[Sasquach2112]

I just ordered 3 Trichocereus Bridgesii cuttings and it's been along time since I bought any cacti so i dont remember what the last ones looked like but does this look like mold to anyone ? Or is this normal looking

Normal looking. If it's dry and not soft, no problemo.

Ok thanks...

I mean if its hard and not soft and squishy it should be ok, but mine have always been a brighter offwhite color once they healed over.

If it was me, I would redo the cuts just above where you feel it may be moldy, and let them heal in a presteralized enviornment. I usually put them on a counter that has been disinfected with a fan blowing on the cuts to speed up the drying of the wound. Never had a problem with doing this.
