Unhappy Mold growig on grapewood!!!

Last week I finally received my grapewood pieces and tried mounting for the first time! ( I instantly fell in love with it and am planning to do this more often!) The orchids that I mounted were three Dracula's, and they are in my orchidarium where I maintain between 70%-75% humidity and a 65F. night temp and 75F. day temp. This morning, as I was looking over them as the mister was running, I noticed a grey blue mold forming on the grapewood in three spots! Is there a way to kill this mold without harming the plants or do I have to take the orchids off the mount and remove the wood? I guess I may have found a drawback to loving high humidity low temperature Orchids! Any help would be very much appreciated! And even more so if I can leave them on the mount! I'm going to take a picture of it and post it tonight.
