the quality and retention of the head varies by recipe. It's doubtful that your beer is infected.
What sort of dark spot? Could it just be hop debris? a bunch of bubbles that popped in one area?

Post a picture.
(my guess is still that it is just hop debris or other sediment floating on and then breaking down the head)

Is the beer overcarbed? If so its probably yeast getting sucked up from the bottom of the bottle when you open it.

This is very possible. It happens in my beers with a yeast that hasn't dropped and compacted well, or hasn't had enough time to. It can produce some small brown spots on top of the head.
hop particles?
It's normal, have this all the time if I'm picturing what you're talking about correctly. Just the head particles sort of glom together and it looks like as you said, mold on cheese. It's just the way the proteins flow, nothing to be concerned about.
