Warning: my kombucha scoby looked like a science experiment gone wrong

I was listening to a podcast about fermentation in Asheville, and the host mentioned that a healthy scoby can sometimes get dark yeast spots, which is normal. I checked mine and it had a bunch of those spots, so I almost threw the whole batch out, lol. Turns out it was fine, and the kombucha tasted great after 10 days. Has anyone else had a scoby that looked kinda scary but was actually okay?

Honestly, that "looked kinda scary" part is where I'd still toss it.

Actually, those dark yeast spots are a sign of a healthy, active culture.
