Hello all,
I have been noticing some pretty suspicious growth on my Polish Dracula I got from FTS about a month ago. It looks like some sort of pest or even mineral burn, even though I've been watering with 100 percent distilled. I have not had either before, which is why I am asking you guys.
Pics below(brought inside to take pics) :

I don't see anything that would indicate a pest to me. It mostly looks like physical damage, maybe from transport. The moss on to seems awfully dry though.

Hi @Panman,
Yeah that's what I also figured since I dropped it heads-down a couple weeks ago. As for the LFSM,
It looks dry but is actually very moist about a half inch under.
