Faint yellow spot on top of sourdough starter
Hi! I'm new here so apologies if I am posting improperly.
I fed my 2 month old sourdough starter about 6 hours ago. Upon checking just now, I noticed there is a yellow spot on top of my starter. Is this mold? Has it gone bad?
I also fed (1:3:3) it with AP flour because I ran out of my usual whole wheat flour.
Any help is appreciated!

Likely just a dried up bit of old starter or some dry flour. Just scoop it out. if you're concerned, just do a few more days worth of feeding before using it. But I wouldn't worry about it. Mold would likely take more than 6 hours to get like that. when you feed next, just scoop off the whole top layer and use what's on the bottom for the next one.
Hopefully, it's nothing to worry about. Thank you for the response!
