Hi,

I just noticed weird mark on my Vango tent, wondering if it might be some kind of funky mould, does anyone recognise it and any ideas best thing to do?

It's on the inside of polyester flysheet?

Many thanks,
Marc

Looks more like a squashed spiders egg cluster to me. Should wipe off (try using a wet wipe), it won’t be occupied, will be a bit sticky & woolly.
(Happy to be corrected about it being mould or mildew, but I’d expect mildew to be black & dotted around.)

It doesn't look like mold to me, maybe the larva/bump of some insect
