Moldy fruit? Yukkkky!
I must admit though, I do eat moldy mushrooms infected with Hypomyces sp. of "mold" I find outside. Around here we call them Lobster Mushrooms. They are delicious. I make and eat moldy cheese and moldy raw meat salamis. I often eat moldy rice and or soya beans. They are sold in several forms, like koji, soya sauce, and miso. Yum yum!
Even some mycotoxins have uses too, penicillin for example. Many people are allergic to it though.

Yeah looks like it to me. It hasn't matured and developed spores yet, but in veg stage is can grow quickly, like overnight. It could be anything, even botrytis. If it is, in time as spores develop it gets light gray and gets darker as they mature. If it follows that life-cycle chances are that's it because we don't have a lot of common molds growing that way that attack growing green plants. Aspergillus starts like that and often gets black once the spores mature, but they usually attack dead or dying stuff (a saprophyte).

That trick is for PM, so that it looks better and you can then dry it without it getting worse. I wouldn't do the h2o2 solution wash with a fungus known to have mycotoxins though because the hyphae actually penetrate the plant's tissue and cannot be washed off.
