Silicone baking cups growing mold despite thorough washing?

https://imgur.com/bdI7NKx

This always happens to our silicone baking cups no matter how thoroughly I think I've washed them (by hand only). I generally wash in hot water with regular dish soap, no hard scrubbers or brushes. I let them dry thoroughly before stacking.

After maybe a week or so on the shelves they look like they have mold growing on them somehow. Cabinet is cool/dry and nothing else in there (including some other silicone pieces) grows the same stuff on it.

Can anyone enlighten me if this is actually mold and if I can do something to prevent it in the future?

Currently, we just wash them again immediately before using.

Also, any reason I can't post an image directly on this sub?
