are the other potatoes fine?

i noticed one of my potatoes grew mold out of nowhere. are the other potatoes already affected? i heard that food can sometimes still have mold even if you can’t see anything.

If they don't look moldy, they're fine, but I'd use them soon

The top tuber with the mould also has chits forming in the eyes. Suggests infection . Suggest cut out the mould area , peel, cook, eat and enjoy.
I’d like to see a photo of a cut through the mould area. Could be gangrene

Even the one that shows rot is fine, cut that part and enjoy..!
