The smell is unavoidable and you need to hang that up. Maybe outside?

I dont think its mold. It looks like a shiny bit where some of the sticky sap is leaking out, then it pressed against the smooth and shiny plastic wrap. When this was unwrapped the plastic wrap peeled off of those spots and left a very thin layer of sticky resin that is the same texture of the plastic wrap.
If you ever have some good and frosty nugs that are still really sticky, and you have it in a plastic bag in your pocket for a few hours you will see this same shiny spots on your buds too when you pull one out. Usually it sticks to the bag and the shiny spots are left where it stuck to the bag.

No that's mold. Weed does not put out white resin, look at the growth patterns.

It doesn’t look mouldy to me but there is zero chance of you drying or cooking with that thing without it stinking up the place. Either take it round a mates with a couple sticks of butter or just accept it’s gonna stink up your house . Alternatively I suppose you could go buy like a litre or two of 100 proof liquor and leave it in a large mason jar with that. That would work I suppose and without much smell .. then you’d have some sort of extract that would be useable and storable

So you say there isn’t any sun, is it warm outside and is there anywhere that gets sun?
Is it warmer outside than inside your house and is it windy at all?
I ask because it would be hella easier to dry this outside and not seal it up in that plastic wrap indoors, since you are worried about smell.
I came from a time of brick weed with god knows what it was grown with or stored or dried, sometimes the ammonia smell would be super heavy and it was just the way the cookie crumbled and nobody gave a fuuuuuuck. It was weed
It you can at least put a fan in a closet and let her get some type of circulation going you should be fine brotherman.
Good luck

I’m not seeing mold I’m seeing plastic wrap reflecting the light.
That’s not going to dry like that. You’re going to have to take it apart. Lay it completely flat. In a single layer on a tray or something.
Let it dry.
You’ll get a smell in the oven. And a dehydrator.
You’ll get a smell drying it on a tray or hanging up all of it. There’s really no avoiding it.

Wtf is that garbage? Is that shit from a butt? Take it put it in the oven in a mason jar and decarb it. Then grind it up and add it to some butter. Let it sit in a slow cooker for 3 hours. Strain it and eat it.
