what needs said has already been said. grab some beads and wipe her down. Bear in mind that a certain amount of mold is always in the air. its when your humidty spikes that you have a problem.
ALSO its when you have a rapid CHANGE in temp. Please, someone that hasnt been up for that last 24 hours straight, remind us how the temp change works? in a nutshell, rapid temp change may not increase the humidity in the air, BUT it can cause extra moisture / water to form on the surface of the sticks, and voila, mold! (learned that one the hard way when I was starting out)

and lastly, there's a REALLY good chance your hydro isnt nearly as accurate as you think it is. foam humidifier "holding steady at 65-66%" suggests to me its highly probable its been holding steady much higher, and just that little spike put you over the edge.... (another one of those been there, done that ones)
