It looked like the kind of mold that you find on for example swiss cheese, the one you eat. Like the blue cheeese that you can eat. It was great and the most expensive on the menue.

i remember moldy afghani hash from many years back. story i was told then was that the mold eats some of the non psychoactive parts of the hash, leaving you with less weight and a more potent product. not sure if that was true, but the mold was intentional and the hash amazing
I worked in a coffeeshop in 1994, and have visited more dutch shops than I can remember. Skunk, superskunk, orange, NL, shiva, etc was long common by then yes but, coffeeshops started out mostly as hash shops and some stuck with that angle much longer than others. Most cities with more than a few shops had one or more shops that were the place to go for hash. The menu posted looks like one of those shops.

Intentional fungal terps? Lung spores?
Surely the hash would have been even better without the mushroom content? Unless the fungus is psychoactive, not sure why it would be desirable. Each to their own though.
Ive seen modern afghan and border hashes full of mold still, as a result of bad hygiene and low quality production/storage methods.
Peace
Funny if that was true @velorex about the fungus eating the contaminants. Way less work than static tech to remove contaminant, wonder if the mold eats the trichome stalks and burst trichomes too, leaving nothing but 100 percent trichome heads. Mold tech 
It does make sense as long as you’re prepared to smoke the toxic byproducts of the fungus eating the cellulose.

the story went that this type of mold was local to afghanistan and wouldn't hurt you when smoked, was just a thin white layer on the outside of the piece. was one of the types of hash that the old hippies got misty eyed talking about. that and white kashmir screws. 30 years ago a friend used to get big shipments of hash, sometimes there would be a few small pieces of some real exotics on top of the normal stuff. haven't seen any of them since.
Piatella from uncles farm in BCN where it originated was going for 150€ a g when it first dropped, not sure if it remains that expensive but it’s definitely something for very special occasions!
Peace
Interesting that it was only on the outside, whenever Ive seen moldy hash it’s penetrated the whole piece due to trapped moisture having been sealed without proper drying.
I wasn’t smoking hash 30 years ago though. Love old hash stories, did you ever read the Mr Nice books?

love the mr nice book, a true hero.
talked with a couple of old friends, they both remember the mold afghan. the afghanies buried it in the ground for months, then they would scrape of the mold and sell it as the best quality. not sure if the mold did anything, or just a cure from time. very curious now

Wonder if it could have been buried in sheepskin, and the "mold" some kind of reaction from contact with it?
Like is still done nowadays, well 12 years ago anyway:
Pakistan's Goat-Grown Hashish
Pakistan's largely lawless northern tribal areas are notorious for the high-quality hashish that's a bane of law enforcement. And local producers are proud of their traditional methods to produce the banned black, sticky, local delicacy.

They sold it in dutch coffeeshops as ' schimmel-kashmir. It was on top of the list ,most expensive I think '12 gulden'. It was I think 1987/1988/1989.I smoked this and I remember that It was pretty strong at that time. After that period I've not seen It anymore. They told it was getting the mold after they pressed the hash. Then cured it and get molded, like cheese.

Oh, yes!
They called it "Schimmel-Kashmir" !
I'd smoke that.
'Mr. Nice' is just one of several examples of people who used to get hash from the east (from my location, NL). Like I said before, coffeeshops in NL started out mostly as hash shops, with outdoor flower. The hash was basically separated in two categories, far away import hash (India, Afghanistan and Nepal for example) and Moroccan (and Lebanese of course). Nowadays, after the government started interfering more, most of the hash is Moroccan. (it's legal for a shop to sell 5 gram per person, it's not legal to grow, sell to a shop, or for a shop to buy, let alone imported stuff. With the large Moroccan community in NL the Moroccan stuff is still very much accessible).
Real Temple Balls and charas for example is at least in my area (not-Amsterdam) pretty rare... pretty much non-existent. Lots of the hash nowadays is local, made from trim and fluff from grows mainly for bud. Like Gorilla Glue hash... or hash made from sativa-dom hybrids... concentrate... it's effective but nothing like the oldschool import. To me that's like wine made from wheat and hop, or beer made from grapes. Yeah, would definitely prefer some Schimmel-Kashmir even though I never smoked or seen it myself.

You're right most of the shops I knew back half in the 80's had only hash and a few imported weed strains. I lived in the area east Netherlands, Arnhem. My shops to go where 'Leer om leer, zero zero ( still there) and Rasta (shop on klarendal) You have had also some 'red and yellow Libanon' it was very cheap and you had some Turkish hash wich was very good choice also at the time. But .oet of the time it was Ketama or zero zero. You could.buy for 100 gulden 20 grams as a 14 year old guy and it was no problem in 1985
Also you You had some Tai weed and Colombian weed, but always lot of seeds in those. After this Era came skunk from inside and it took over almost everything you could say. I loved those fresh strong inside Skunk weed also. Thanks for the Reply it brings back memories
