I bought Rosemary from grocery store, it look fine and healthy. Then opened the wrap to see there’s black mold looking thing underneath.

Is it mold? Is it better trashed? Hopefully salvaged but I am not sure….when I rub it can be taken off, not really like stain.

It does look like sooty/black mold. A commercial fungicide can get rid of both the exposed and hidden mold spores. There are DIY solutions that can be mixed. I’ve never tried them. But, they work for others. Search the older posts or online.
