Don't be worried,
there is absolutely no problem for your tree to be infected with a fungus pathogen.
What you have done with your soil mixture in a closed container with 100% humidity, is to give it the most favorable environment for rapid development of saprophytic fungi (which we call molds) and which were already in the soil in small amounts.
In fact, they are common soil fungi that are beneficial for root development of your trees, since a good soil is a "living soil" that must contain different microorganisms that help maintain activity in the root rhyzosphere for good root development.
Fungus pathogens that cause root diseases are more often found in soils that are not well drained and with plants that are not very healthy.
