Mold on rice that was fed to worms

I know bacteria are part of the decomposition process which the worms thrive upon; however, I felt it was worth asking whether or not the "fuzzy" bluish-gray mold that is forming on the surface of some cooked rice I added to my bin is detrimental to the health of the bin and/or the worms.

I did some searching and couldn't find anything specifically saying rice was a bad food to add. I had some leftover and thought they may benefit from the starches, was this a mistake?

Any advice would be appreciated. For what it's worth, they seem to be doing fine, but haven't touched the area of the bin with the rice yet!
