Unless you are storing your clarinets in a very damp location you probably don't have mold. The "green stuff" forming around the screws is most likely what is known as verdigris, which is an oxide that forms on some brass and copper alloys. It is likely that the posts and keys on your instrument are made from plated brass so you are probably seeing oxidation forming at locations where the base metal is exposed such as the holes for screws and springs.
