Is this bud rot?

Jarred up one of my plants and picked apart one of the large colas to find this. It has no smell other than the extreme cherry smell from it's terpenes. At the base of the stem you could see individual calyx all along the branch. They were also a light brown, but it almost looks to me like it was possible natural color from lack of light inside the cola. Currently in the jar sitting at 56% RH (Had a mix up with my two humidity sensors and was going by the one that read higher. Turned out that one was wrong and the lower one correct). Thanks for any input.

The white on the stem are just breaks in the branches, it's not like white mold or anything.

I would let the suspected bud dry out extra then flick it with your finger and see if mold spores fly out. You can also tell if it’s moldy if it has a musty smell to it

Yeah I'm going to let it continue on in it's jar. Like I said no smell from the area except it's extremely intoxicating cherry smell. Almost like a mentholated cherry smell. It's pretty intense. Thanks.

Yup that's rot

It looks like it to me but I'm quite green and I found it pre-harvest. I just threw away way too much last week because of it.

I realize this is probably self explanatory, but thought I'd ask anyway..... ... Can any part of the bud be smoked if there is bud rot? ie: can it be cut out?

I wouldn't be smoking that. Looks like mold.

Can it be used for anything?, such as cooking- tincture/hash, anything at all?
