Solved What is this White cluster on my Kiwi ?

I notice this on a LOT of Kiwi's,
Almost always near to the edge of the fruit,,, a white cluster.
Is it dead fruit fly eggs/larvae ? or is it something else ?
I find this in about 30% of Kiwis.
Please let me know what it is.

Thank you very much

 

Most fruit is shipped into the UK not ripe, when they arrive, the fruit is placed into a controlled enviroment, where a hormone is pumped into the room in the form of a gas, this hormone is the same hormone the plant/fruit gives off when ripening naturally, so helps the fruit to ripen, ready for the shop. The white dots appear to be where the fruit is over ripened, which is the 1st stage of mold, its quite common in some forced fruits, especially fruits from supermarkets, the fruit is ok to eat, but dont leave it too long. The most common are Kiwi, and stoned fruit, many a time I have bitten into a plumb or peach, to find the fruit hard, and the stone manky, this is why, if I can, I grow most things myself, including kiwi, the fruit is a bit smaller, but if you get a self fertile variety they are perfectly happy in temperate climates, the variety I have is called Jenny.

 

Thanks for your reply.
Mostly I was concerned whether it was perhaps dead eggs or larvae (from fruit fly or other bug).
if its just regular damage from ripening, then i'm fine with it.
But I am trying to rule out fruit fly eggs/larvae.. which may have been killed from irradiation during import to the UK.
if it is mold, is there any way I could test it to be sure its mold?
ie: if I were to leave it exposed on a plate in kitchen, do you think the white area would be the first section to grow spores ?
if its an early sign of mold then surely this would be the first part of the fruit to grow fluffy mold ?

 

If it was fruit fly eggs, you should be able to find a mark on the skin of the fruit, the entry point if you like, and the white marks, would extend to the surface.
As for the mold, I wolud think you are probably right on the mold, but you could experiment with it.
