Though I agree with LIP's sentiment in the above response, I will give you a somewhat (only somewhat, as I have never had first hand experience with it) more informative answer.

Trichromes, which are what are in that picture, are little resin glands on the bud, and produce little white hairy/crystally things. They are not intertwined or webby looking, because they are short and stubby and not stringy at all.

Mold, on the other hand, looks somewhat like spider-webs. The little hairs would intertwine and kind of make a net over the bud, more messy looking then trichromes.

Zoom in on pictures if you can't tell, and you'll be able to see if they are trichs, aka resin glands coming from the bud, or mold, aka a net on top of the bud.

Examples of both:

Moldy: http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/745...4404836_rs.jpg Look mainly at the two ends of the bud, obvious molding by the stem and at the tip of the bud.

And yes, mold can seriously hurt you. It is a fungus and should not be in your lungs at all, it introduces serious risk for bacterial and other types of infections. NOT a good idea.
