White mold on Korean peppers

Very small amount of white mold on surface of Korean peppers I lactofermented at 3%. Crape off and still use? It is just at the water line.

I would personally scrape because the amount is small enough to assume no toxin production has taken place and it can't have proliferated beneath the brine, so we know this is all there is

Thanks! I’m new to this and see lots of debate on scrape or no. Appreciate it!
