@nosfe do you have any sort of microscope capable of 100-400x ish zoom? you should be able to see organic cells at that level, if it's caused by something organic (fungi, bacteria, etc).
Or if you could swab the area with some sterile water and put it in some agar, if there's any growth within 24-48 hours then that would also suggest a biological origin.
though personally the black structure in the background really reminds of electric lichtenberg fanning, so that wouldn't surprise me either 👨🔬

@anthropy I don't have a microscope, been asking around to find someone who would have & who would know what to look for, emailed some lecturer at university but no response yet. Trying to swab a sample at this point from it would not confirm anything as I have handled the film by hand so much. If you mean the black on the sides of the film, it's emulsion breaking down from moisture & maybe heat.

@anthropy got it inspected with microscope this monday and no signs of organic action there. did also check a film which has fungus and it is distinctively different from the film grain
