Doesn't look like mold. Just looks like dried yeast residue. The foam on the starter itself looks nice. I would wet a paper towel with starsan and use it to sanitize the area while cleaning the gunk out.
 
Thanks I thought so too but wanted to do a sanity check. This has been a long brew day with a four hour decoction so last thing I wanted to do was mess it up with my starter.

Tasted the starter beer after decanting to check it wasn't sour.

Will wipe away and hope for the best!
