Black Mold?

Hi Cigar.com community I am new to cigars and just purchased a new Yukon 40 count humidor and a sampler of 30 cigars about 3 weeks ago or so. I season the humidor as best as I could and placed a humidifier with distilled water inside,but I am guilty of opening the humidor a lot to check for the humidity level, which has been as high as 74% for an hour or so and as low as 63% for a couple of minutes, but mostly around 67-71%. Yesterday, I noticed small black dots in the humidor inside little lines or cracks and I do not remember if the humidor was that way before or not. The black dots are really small and mostly inside the little cracks in the wood. I do not know if it is black mold or not and I am worried. Everything smells great, but I read that opening the humidor causes drastic changes in humidity and that causes mold. I am attaching pictures and I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me if it is mold or not and if so what can I do about it. Thank you all and have a great day.

FYI. Whenever I've seen mold on a cigar or in a Humi., it's been the white fluffy stuff. Not Black.

I have never seen mold in a humidor but i have seen a lot of it throughout my life and that doesn't look like mold. it just looks like the grains of the wood. you shouldn't be worried.
