What is this? I'm concerned!

All of my tortoises have these small white deposits inside their shells now after living outside this summer. It looks like it's coming from the inside. Is it a nutrient deficiency? Parasite? Moisture issue? Sun issue? Totally benign?

Please shed some light if you have any idea what this is. I'm worried!

I just see regular shell patterns. I did see some white, squiggy lines (do a sesrch for this) on a couple of them, and that's nothing to worry about.

Ok, great! That's good to hear. Thank you! I read through a bunch of fungal threads on here, and I found one picture that looks like mine do.
