Urgent help needed in identifying/dealing with mould

Afternoon ladies and gents,

Yesterday I obtained a one ounce of fairly moist dank. It was so pungently strong that it stunk up my whole car even while in a zip-lock bag.

However, upon closer inspection at home I noticed a strange white growth. Not all over the bud, rather specks of white which are clearly visible. Some white specks are as big as grains of sand, some are slightly larger.

I called the guy I obtained it from and he tells me he has 'somewhat the same'. Then again, he puts it down to the strain of bud which he promises me is very potent.

My questions are:

- How can I tell if this is mould? It doesn't smell like mould, and infact is some of the strongest smelling MJ I've ever had.

- I can't tell if these are just milky trichomes or mould. To me, they appear as distinctly white dots, sparsely scattered around the bud.

- If it is mould, then what can I do to salvage it? I've heard of water curing it? Does this mean washing it and then drying it again?

- Is it possible to have strains of MJ with sparse dots of white over the bud?

Any advice or experience would be much appreciated.
