Nov 27 at 5:15 comment converted from answer Mary I have just found similar on some, but not all of my just dug up bulbs. A whitish mould where the roots attach to the bulb, and also then spread as a darker greyer mould from the root base down through the clove joins themselves...also soggy at the bulb to stem join. There has been high rain fall lately in clayish soil base plus regular watering. Maybe too humid soil?? Maybe came in with paddock collected horse manure??

Apr 26, 2018 at 6:13 comment added Brōtsyorfuzthrāx Is it on the roots, too? I'm wondering if it might be mycorrhizae, but I don't know if that covers bulbs.
Apr 26, 2018 at 5:16 comment added Graham Chiu Were the cloves bought as "seed" for planting? Or are you reusing supermarket garlic?
