I grew these gourds myself...they dried throughout winter in my garage. During the drying process they molded...totally normal. I washed them in bleach water to clean the mold off and stop the growth....once dried. That's what made the unique patterns on the gourds. These are birdhouse and bottleneck gourds. Can be used for many projects. These are full of seeds and uncut/carved or painted. Gourds are 15 dollars each..please let me know how many you would like in your package. This listing with shipping rates is for up to 5 pounds. These weigh approximately 4.5 Oz. Each.
