Are you sure it wasn't sap? Sometimes it can flow freely out of fresh wood.

Subject: [permaculture] mildew on black locust?
A few weeks ago we were all talking about how great black locust is.
I built a black locust clothes drying rack. The black locust was a
little dry, but not entirely. I figured it was safe to use because of
the anti-fungal properties locked into black locust.
I was wrong.
I peeled some clothes off of it today. Yes: peeled is the right
word. They were sticking. And it looks like some sort of mildew is
acting as a bit of glue.
I'm surprised at the mildew. i would think that even if it was wet,
mildew would be impossible with black locust.
How can this be? I could understand mildew on most woods, but I
thought I would never see mildew on black locust.
