Fungus inside chili peppers?

what is this white fungus looking growth inside my dried chili peppers? Is the skin just dry and rotted now, and are they good for salsa making?

Fungus inside chili peppers?
Did you pierce your peppers with a small needle or paper clip several times before drying? If the fungus looking growth is powdery or fuzzy looking. I wouldn't use them. It won't hurt you but it gives a funny taste to your salsa and other food you use them in.
Reply:that is the veins of the chilli, they have dried out as well...perfectly safe to eat, and they have a lot of heat!
