Images 1-3: white fuzzy on top (was not covered w vermiculite). is this mold? the buried tuber parts are solid and healthy.
image 4: there’s a shiny ooze where a bad-weak tuber is attached. the other tubers are healthy and firm. can it be saved?

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

You can clean the mold with 10% bleach solution. I’d put some cinnamon on it afterwards.
