spiny growth pictures - what is this??

I have eight cakes that were birthed four to five days ago (a few needed a little extra time). Yesterday, I noticed some odd little whiskers on some of the cakes. Wasn't sure if this was normal, so I kept misting and fanning as usual. It's been hot and humid here, and I chalked the strange growth up to sub-optimal conditions *hoping* I'd get some regular pinning and the whiskers would go away. Today, however, it looks like the whiskers are bigger and they are accompanied by the presence of what could be a type of yellow mold. Please take a look and see what you make of this:

Any advice or comments would be helpful to a beginning grower. Thanks!

thanks for your response...not sure what to do about this... I hate to give up on it, but i think 7 out of 8 cakes have at least a little of this stuff visible. I know, I know - I'm sure I should dump it all and start over. shit. oh well, better luck next time.

ok. threw out the worst of the cakes and am going to try and save the last two. it occurred to me that the crazy yellow spikes could be some kind of rust contaminant?? i had tried situating my cakes on metal lids in their shotgun terrarium (as i had seen in books and stuff), but as i was cleaning up from my little disaster, i noticed rust spots on the insides of the metal lids *exactly* the same color as the whiskery growth. SO, the last two cakes are now sitting on aluminum foil in a very clean fc. maybe i'll have more luck with my second set which are currently colonizing in the dark.

almost looks like roots like from seeds germinating? basically throw it out and start over.
