Chestnuts - any experience with whole chestnuts?

[sdstarfish]

I just roasted some chestnuts, and when I opened the shell they were fuzzy. Is this normal? I've never cooked the whole nut before.

The following link on how to roast chesnuts mentions that 'chestnuts are highly perishable'...

Thanks, Jackie. Someone gave me these from Christmas time. It's hot where I live, so I guess I should have refrigerated them. oops.
