Dont trash your glass. Its inert and can always be cleaned.
The cabinet is in pretty bad shape though. Hopefully one of the guys here can help with that.

Definitely shouldnt be breathing it in, wear long sleeves, gloves, glasses, and a respirator or at least a surgical mask.
Bleach everything, run a hepa filter if you can, put a dehumidifier in the room if you can, i would put a lot of calcium chloride in the corner to wick away moisture, then after dealing with the air and moisture procede to check the damage to the cabinet and see if it has spread.
Doesnt seem like too bad of an infection but you should be concerned with exposure when cleaning mold and destroy it before it crawls into a wall or the ceiling. If you have the money i would suggest having a pro come destroy it and check the rest of the area for more colonies just to have the peace of mind that its gone and not hiding 
I would soak everything under the cabinet in bleach then rinse with hot water or put it through the dishwasher a few times.

You need to keep the RH low, <60% if possible. Then the mold won't grow back. It'll still be there even after you disinfect but it'll be dormant and not producing any new spores.

Thank you Kizzle. Does my plan of attack sound good enough or am I lacking?

Definitely dry it after using soap and water and silica doesnt come close to the same as calcium chloride. You can buy it at hardware stores for about 5-15$, its what technicians use to dry out cabinets, closets, anything that is in an enclosed area. If you pour a good pile on top of the mold and all throughout the cabinet as well as run a dehumidifier in the house it will definitely kill the colonies. Sulfur atomizers work good at preventing new mold from popping up but they are expensive and im not sure about using one in a room you are in all the time, a greenhouse is one thing but your kitchen im not too sure about. Definitely run a hepa if you can to help reduce the sporeload.

Stay on top of it and you should be good!

That sucks you might try asking for Damp Rid, its a name brand that some people may recognize instead of the scientific name. Its also used for deicing so if you live somewhere cold you might find some.

I will find that mold in any house in the world, old or brand new. Quit freaking out. Kinda looks like you may have a small drain leak under your sink
