I just noticed my quarts of pickled asparagus all have this on the seals. I opened one to check and it smells fine and looks fine, but this doesn’t look good. Is this mold? Or just some weird discoloration? Assuming it’s mold.

Research Pin holing. Is it fuzzy? Or does it look like soot? Here is some more information
Did you use a tested recipe and process? I’m not seeing any for pickled asparagus in quarts. Did you use any substitutions i.e. garlic powder instead of garlic cloves?
