I've made a habit of fumigating my smokers with red cedar chips or juniper to kill off mould that grew on the wood from drippings. Might be worth a try on one or two salamis. People will tell you that you can't use red cedar but you can -- the whole west coast uses it to start the fires in "traditional" salmon smokehouses. You just can't use to much, and make sure it's dry. Maybe check the type of wood you're using? Alder and maple don't seem to do much for cutting mould.
Not that it would help you in making mould, but it may help in narrowing things down.
Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
