The mold and the frogs nose. Many tanks mold as part of the cycling process, Misting the mold a few times a day with RO or Distilled water can usually fight back some of the molding process.
Usually this mold is only a light thin white covering on wood type items. I don't think it would transfer to the frogs face though. I could be wrong.
The stuff coming off the nose should be shed since they shed pretty regularly but pics should help with determining the problem.

There is a picture of this noise, and i circled the mold. There wasnt as much as my fiance was saying there was. His nose almost looks like it has mucus on it.

I would pull and replace all the moss but I don't believe that is what is wrong with the frog. This looks more like a mucus on the frogs face probably due to a bacterial infection. If so, it can be passed on to other frogs and should be separated and made comfortable in a separate tank.
As for the mucus, hopefully someone with experience in bacterial infections can pipe in and suggest a course of action to help your frog. Best bet is a herp vet since I would guess meds are the only thing going to clear this up.
If i could get some more help about the toadies nose that would be great!
I agree with Don. The white filmy substance on the nose looks like a mucus. I would remove the frog from the tank and put him in a basic enclosure until your appointment with a vet. Remove the moss and do a complete tank cleaning and keep an eye on the others. Infections are easily transmitted from frog to frog.
