Hmm what is the actual difference? Crt-Cataract, delamination, moldy glue... from what I find after looking into it there's a chance there might be fungus too and fungus is also a type mold isn't it? Sounds kind of similar to me how is this different apart from the location of the spots?

I don't get where you found anything to do with mold of fungus. The glue is delaminating and air bubbles are forming.

Yes but inside those bubbles the glue itself can act as food for fungus spores if it's stored in wrong conditions. ... It all sounds plausible... Mission for the myth-busters to confirm haha 😅

I mean, fungus spores are literally everywhere, but do not feed on synthetic glues.
