White or grey film when you open the bag? That's normal.
You may notice a fine whitish-grey layer on the bark when you first open a bag of Orchiata. This is a naturally occurring fungus, typically Penicillium or Paecilomyces, and it won't harm your plants. These fungi are actually beneficial, helping to prevent harmful, disease-causing fungi from colonising the bark.
