What is this in my carrera air cleaner strange

I removed my air cleaner and found this stuff in the bottom. It's like little carbon pieces.

I'm at a loss. It's not poop as far as I can tell it looks like carbon from a pencil.

usually the screen falls apart and lets the pellets through. If it still has most of its pellets you can just pop the end off and put a better screen in. I think. Its been a while since i did mine. there was a good thread on it I recall a few years ago

Agree. Those look just like the poison in one of those triangular cardboard mouse poison stations. That stuff is usually green however.

Not looking like bat guano really, or carbon eating mice. So, no protective clothing or HEPA-filter mask needed. Here's old post on this type of foreign object discovery:
What are these little turds?
