Default clay smell in long stored clean clothes


I am suspecting it is from plastic fumes used in the storage materian but a
biochemist chum insists it is a benign fungus. I had some clothes stored in a
plastic bag for a year that smelled this way. THen I found stuff in plastic
drawers smells the same way. But the real surprises was "breather" non-woven
bag with clear see-thru windows. All stored a year or two and all smell like
clay.
