mold - to plant or not to plant

Hello

My name is jess and I am a procrastinator...

I bought some hyacinth and daffodils about 3 weeks ago, brought them home in a plastic bag, tied a knot on the top and set them in the garage. (now I know that probably sounds stupid, but I'm new at this...) Now there is smelly black mold on the bottom of the hyacinths' package, and I'm wondering: should I still plant them?

The daffodils seem untouched by the mold and the hyacinths are all firm except one or two. Both have a few bulbs that are sprouting green at the tops - I don't know if that's good or bad, but it looks nice.

Would you get your hopes up and plant these?

Oh, and about the mold - is that unhealthy to inhale or touch? I'm worried it must smell bad for a reason.

Thanks in advance - jess
