Ross,....get an old toothbrush, or a cheap new one at the store and gently clean it off with the brush. Then powder a bit of anti-fungal foot powder to the end that was molded. Do this as needed every once in a while if you see it coming back like that. I have had some CRAPPY looking ends on a few eggs in the past, and when it is only on one end like that, the rest that is in good condition seems to be enough for the embryos to stay healthy and hatch just fine most of the time.

Check this nasty looking egg out that hatched a perfectly healthy Hondo a few years ago. The end was bulged out on one end and hard and black, but it hatched out healthy as ever (hatchling in far corner of photo.LOL!

How long ago was the moldy egg laid?
