Blind-baked pie crust and then found mold on pie weights

Tonight, I was blind-baking a pie crust to make a butterscotch pie. I put the crust in the pan, and crimped and pricked it. Then, I lined it with parchment paper and poured in ceramic pie weights.

After the crust finished baking (about 12 minutes later) I lifted the parchment paper and pie weights out. When I did this, I noticed that some of the weights have a fuzzy black mold on them. This is only the second time I've used these weights. When I first bought them (about a year ago) I thought it would make sense to wash them. I'm assuming some moisture remained inside them, which is what caused the mold.

Is it still okay to consume this pie crust, since there was parchment paper in between the weights and crust? I'm worried that the mold spores could somehow have traveled through the paper, and could make someone sick if they eat the pie.
