Raspberry peanut butter mead, this happened after racking into tertiary. Primary and secondary had raspberries freefloating in the container, so it miiiight just be floating bits of raspberry. When I shake it up, they briefly sink and float back up.

Looks like chunks of berries, not like mold. How did you rack exactly?
Sniffing it is your best analysis available. Just scoop some and sniff, if you don't like it, you won't like the rest!
I use an auto siphon, sanitizing everything of course. Primary had freefloating raspberries, then same with secondary when backsweetening. Racked to tertiary after a week and that’s when this appeared, and I had never seen that before in a batch.
You make a great point in that I could definitely just scoop it out, then if it returns I have my answer. Thank you!
