I bottled my beer this morning and when I went to put the equipment away, I noticed this under where my fermenter was sitting. Do you think there is any chance the mold spores got into my fermonster's spigot? Seems like my fermonster had a slow leak... Do you think my beer is safe to drink?

Yeah. I've never seen video of mold swimming upstream.
Or swimming at all for that matter :)
Keep in mind that mold spores are pretty-much omnipresent.
So the fact that you discovered a colony just means they found a suitable place to propagate.
They were there before that.
