Hi, I've grown 100+ cobs of a flint corn, Carol Deppe's 'Cascade Ruby-Gold'. I field-dried them until I found mold in some husks, at which point I threw out the moldy ones and harvested the rest. As Carol suggests in "The Resilient Gardener", I laid out the shucked cobs to air-dry in my living room (on trays/shelving). They've been that way 2 months, and I was about to start shelling them today when I noticed one tray of 25 cobs has lots of white fuzzy mold/fungus. (My guess is that one or more cobs had the fungus when brought in from the field -- I guess I should have dehydrator-dried those ones from the start and then frozen them.)
I'm going to shell the non-fuzzy cobs, dehydrator-dry them, then freeze them for a day. But my question is, must I throw out the 25 fuzzy ones? Or can I rinse them, shell them, rinse again, dehydrator-dry, and freeze them in order to save the kernels? I grind them over the winter for flour to make bread, pancakes etc.

Thanks,
...Terry
