Problems Rooting in Sphagnum Moss :(

I have been trying to root cuttings for a little over a month with little success.

My first batch, I did the damn newspaper and ziplock bag approach. Of 5 cuttings, one rooted. I suspect I kept them too damp.

On my current batch, I decided I would try the sphagnum moss in a plastic box approach. I started these a week ago. I soaked the moss, squeezed it out well, as much as I could get out, and when I checked them yesterday, the sphagnum moss had a thin layer of the dreaded cotton looking mold/fungus on top. It has been kept in a closet at about 70 degrees. Is this going to kill the cuttings? Did I do something wrong :(?

Thanks for any help
