Is this on the top layer of cellulose or do you have a bunch of moisture coming from the interior of the house?
From what I could tell it was years of the air in the attic hitting the dew point both from inside air escaping and humid outside air coming in the vents. The moisture would condense in the cellusose and saturate it so it would settle a little more at the time. It went from light and fluffy to a hard biscuit.
