I can tell you an experience I had here in Texas. It has to do with a milling machine I had in my garage (no climate control). It had been cold for a while, all the metal had become cold soaked. Then a very moist warm front came up from the south. When I opened the garage, the warm air hit the cold metal and within minutes my entire machine was dripping with condensation. Of course I was freaking out and drying it off and spraying it. If this were to be happening under a blanket, it could get the blanket wet. If that happened repeatedly, it would be nothing more than a tent of moisture for the bike.
Just a scenario I could see happening.
In this "case" that the OP has, I would venture to guess there are some kind of chemicals around that could contribute to the rust. It doesn't take much to cause a reaction. Even fertilizers etc.......

Regarding that being mold - the presence of mold is indicative of moisture. It would appear your new, clean garage is really a new,clean, moist garage. As has been stated previously, a cover can trap moisture leading to the problems you are experiencing. Just sayin'. Good luck.

If it is a moisture problem you can put one of these under the blanket, these really work well.

I would be putting better ventilation in that new garage or maybe a dehumidifier on a timer. I would not be covering the bike with anything heavier than a bed sheet (loosely draped over) also.
Rapid changes in temp and or humidity on any covered metal can cause the problems noticed. Covering the bike only locks in the moisture and keeps it from dispersing quickly.
Good luck.
