Inside of the dried pod rotten?

[PTW]

SWIM had a single pod from a batch that when opened contained no seeds, but the inside was covered with a black substance. It almost looks like the seeds inside got wet and deteriorated and then dried inside. Anyone know what this is and if the pod is any good?

If you could take a pic it would help. It probably isn;t mold if it is just black. Seedless normally means that the seller drained them to sell seperately - was there a small circular hole in the top?
If you are worried and it is one pod, just throw it out. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks MrJim.

After 5 days of searching (including a post here about it) SWIM finally just found out that it is indeed mold, and could potentially be harmful.

SWIM now says it's trash.
