My bud is covered with yellow stuff

Dude told me it was a from a fresh p and that I should open it and leave out for a bit since it's fresh and wet. Well my brain really doesn't work sometimes, I kinda forgot he said that. I didn't open the bag till Tuesday morning and I never let it "air out". It smelled really really fresh, like the bad type. It was wet but it got me twisted. Ever since then, I have not removed it from the original bag. I just stuffed the whole bag into an airtight ziplock bag which I open about 3-4 times a day to grab a bowl.

Anyway, it's two weeks later and I don't know if this was already there or what, but the bud seems to have golden/yellowish stuff all over it which I was thinking was powdered mildew, but the bud doesn't look rotten or anything and the ENTIRE 3 q left is covered in it. I would think it's crystals, till I broke a nug open and on the inside you see A LOT of shining crystals, plus it's sticky as HELL, the yellow stuff doesn't "reflect" or "shine". I tried looking at it closely and you can tell, the crystals are different from the yellow stuff that's all over the outside of the bud.

What do you guys think it could be? Definitely not hairs. The only reason I got suspicious was because I started getting headaches from smoking the bud, but that's possibly because I was smoking stem (wasn't breaking it up). I started breaking it up since yesterday and it's been a smooth smoke, with a great high and no headache/sore throats (a little harsh at first)/immediate lung probs. It went from smelling like some chemical crap yesterday to some really powerful sweet smelling kush after I threw it in a jar. It's still wettish, but there's definitely no mold on it. Just don't know if it's mildew

Here's a the closest pic of it I can find. Notice the powedery yellow stuff covering parts of the leaves. Mine is similar. I'll try to get a nice and clear picture in a bit of my own. Hoping I don't have to throw this out, because then I can't smoke till September. Sorry for the huge post. Worried for my health here. Thanks

wait....it's 2 weeks later and you still have 3 about 21 grams left of some premium Kush you bought an ounce of?????? how does one do that?
there's no pic here btw OP. sorry that this is your first post in 5 years. good luck

Wait, what's wrong with having 21 gs left after 2 weeks? I smoked a lot when I got it and now I was planning on slowing down to last me till September (did it last year).

Anyway, I suppose some links are not allowed, that's why the link with the pic was removed by mods. I wonder if I can post a pic of the bud if it has the site's name in the pic. (Please remove if not allowed mods)

Here's the description of that bud from their site

"These yellowish nuggets are covered (I mean dripping) with very thick rainbow warrior crystals = they line up almost in "salute". Even the larger, broader leaves are canvassed. There are no great amount of coli but the brown-orange hairs that do appear are fairly wiry and crystal covered. Overall the buds are lighter in weight, with a "cotton-ball" texture & density. Well cured, this weed is dry but still "bends" instead of crumbling into powder. After prepping for smoke, you are essentially faced with a frosty yellow bowl of fuzzy weed."

It describes what I'm seeing, kinda since they're not crystals, but I've honestly never heard of Yumbolt. I'm trying to take my own pics but my it won't come out clear enough. Gonna have to find another camera.

Here is the picture of the bud.

Yellow = Mold, but I am not swearing by that wait till someone with much more exp comments. But I think yellow = mold maybe google yellow buds and see. I am going to now.

Buds with amber colored trichs look more yellowish/golden IMO. I've had yellow looking bud that was extremely potent....

You'd know if you had mold. The smell would be horrible...

That's what I was thinking, I'm just confused as to why there's actual white trichs inside of the bud and then yellowish outside. The smell has really changed since yesterday and has amplified to extreme levels, my entire rooms smells now. It smells really nice and sweet, but I'm even more paranoid because how the hell did it go from the chem smell to such a nice very strong sweet smell in one day, then again I'm not too experienced with drying/curing/smells.

Here's two more pics for reference.

Someone sitting next to me just commented it looks as if you left it a week or so too long, just super ambery trichs.

i don't think that's mold
