Mold after drying

I have a small batch that I hung over a week ago, I think the humidity was too high and I have noticed some wispy white mold in parts when breaking it down.
I cut all of the untrimmed buds off 6 branches into a single box, put it aside and started dry trimming an hour afterwards. I found mold on one bud shortly after I started trimming.
My question is the full box untrimmed buds contaminated? Or is it safe to pitch the moldy one and continue trimming the rest?0A2FD5FA-53C4-4E50-BCEF-15A1AE714CE6.jpeg

Since it is already down just pitch any suspect buds breaking them and taking a peek inside to be safe

Ok, but the fact that that one bud was in contact with the rest in the box is of no concern, even if handling it over top of the rest where spores may have shaken loose?

I know if you have one moldy in a jar the whole jar is suspect, I'm just unsure in this situation where they're being trimmed in the same batch if the presence of mold poses any risk to the rest of the dry buds

I'm currently breaking down and trimming each stick, I haven't seen any more sign of mold.

Not any growers I know worry about additional spore contact after chop
It isn’t something that is all that uncommon
Trimming along and ya cut into one of your plants and there it is
But that plant is laying on a truckload of other plants
I’m not binning the whole lot
