I have had a good look around on the internet and it would appear that despite the smell and appaearance, mine might be ok after all!  I have brought them into my very cold utility room to dry them up a bit more - they have been hanging in the garage since November and I really think its just not warm enough.  I'll give it a few more days... (so dont call the police yet!)

Well, a month on and today I tried my salamis.  i haven't died yet.  One is absolutely delicious - wild boar and pig with red wine and fennel.  looks right, smells right and tastes wonderful - very happy.  My beef one has much larger fat bits in it and tastes OK but a bit bland - all good experiemce I guess!

Glad to hear of your success! We made dozens of salami's this year, we had to make them shorter as every time we bring one back into the kitchen it gets eaten in no time - at least with lots of short ones we only bring a little back at the time so the whole batch lasts longer! 
The saussicon sec with lost of extra pepper is our favourite. 

Enjoy!
