Hmm...
Well, I did a google image search for 'cyano outbreak'. I came up with this...
This is NOT what I had. It was much darker (perhaps from lower light?) and absolutely solid, not at all translucent. It also had a velvety look to it, but wasn't at all 'turfy'.
The red fuzz was just that... little mounds of red fuzz. Some of that has turned to slightly smaller mounds of light green, translucent (sort of) fuzz, but most of it just disappeared.
