Hey Big,
Get a magnifying glass and check out the spots. Mold looks like cotton strands, plume is crystalline under magnification.
Sometimes a 'gar starts to grow mold due to getting a bit damp, a drop of water or handled too much (sweat). It might not be the Humi's fault.
I had a box get damp, and sure enough the Monte 2's started molding. Wiped it off, and smoked a few, gifted a few, and lightly wiped a few off with a cloth slightly damp with rubbing alcohol (God forgive me) let them air dry, then placed those in cello. No mold in a couple months, and one I smoked still tasted too young, but no damage from the sterilizing wipe.
Of course I'm insane......
