Usually it is actually not mold that is found on cylinders.

Henri Chamoux cylinder expert from France, found after long research that is a chemical process, exacerbated by exposing the “wax” to freezing (or close) temperatures. So keep them out of unheated attics/ basements/ cellars.

Interesting! I'm going to look into that. Yes, I'm a nerd.
