Help! Is this mold?

Aged grape wood. The grain is too "loose" to be mopani. Mopani is very dense and has a very tight grain, which is why it's great for aquatic tanks. Dense wood sinks. Also, mopani won't normally crack along the grain like that. Only a less dense would will. I bet that piece weighs next to nothing, doesn't it?

Think I am going to see how many times I can be wrong today without being booed off the forums lol.

Yup, it is fairly light. I figured when it was not sinking it was grape wood, part of the reason I stopped using it in an aquatic set up. Would it be wise to not use it in a WTF enclosure?
