The white mulberry fruit should start green, then white, then pink, then red. Black mulberries go from green to pink to dark purple. Red mulberries start out green and ripen to red or dark purple.

After researching, I did find a fungal disease, called popcorn disease on mulberry, that looks similar. I would contact my local cooperative extension service for current information.
