Small amounts of butter is perfectly fine to leave at room temperature...but only if it's salted. Unsalted butter will grow mold quickly, but salt will inhibit mold growth for quite a while. Unfortunately exposure to light and oxygen will cause it to turn rancid after 2 days, but it's technically still edible.

I keep unsalted butter at room temp in a butter dish just fine.

I'm surprised modern salted butter has enough salt for that. Salted butter in the past was salty to the point of being inedible unless washed AFAIK.

That's why I take my butter with me when stepping into the morning shower. Saves water, and you can snack a bit!
