Oh, my! Love the unexpected!

How/at which point in the process did the mold take hold?

excellent!

Yipes!! I've never seen anything like this on film. Can you share some details as to how this might have happened? IIs every frame on the roll similarly affected?

@ronwhit The bulk film was loose in a can, nothing wrapping it. But it wasn't fogged. I have no idea how old it was or how it had been stored before I got it. Anyway, not every frame on the roll looks like this. But every frame was defective in some way.
This frame just had a massive patch of emulsion eaten by mold.

The unexposed, undeveloped film was sitting around for decades - in a damp place, is my guess. And the mold started to eat the emulsion - specifically, the gelatin.

This is great! By coincidence, I just finished developing and scanning a moldy roll of Tmax 400 in 120 (Nothing as radical as this, but in a real sweet spot).
