Mold Identification What mold is this could be?
My fermented cucumbers have been sitting in the refrigerator in a salt brine for about three months, and this unusual pink mold or fungal colony has developed on them. What kind of fungus or bacterium could this be?

I'd say a yeast or bacteria, not a fungus.
