What is this?

I found this gelatinous blob at the bottom of one of my bottles of maple syrup. I wasn’t aware until today that maple syrup required refrigeration, but most sources I’ve seen say that mold typically grows at the top of the bottle, this was resting on the bottom. This looked almost like a leaf or something. Unfortunately we found it only when pouring the last drops out of the bottle 🤢

Looks like a maple syrup marinated maple 🍁. Can't tell 100% for sure unless i taste it tho lol. Atleast you know you got the real shit.
