What is the relative humidity? what temperature are you drying? Did you inoculate your coppas with mold 600 or is this a wild mold? If you inoculated, read this:
Green Mold On My Salami
If not, well....I can't say with certainty whether it is a safe mold or not. It does look light green and powdery....could be Penicillium Salamii mold, Penicillium Nalgeovense blooming in the light green phase from high humidity, or some other wild mold if you did not inoculate.

I'm running around 74% humidity and 50° in temperature I did use mold 600. It will be one month of drying on the 11th,

You bought the coppas from an italian butcher shop raw, cured and not dried, or cured trussed and dripped? You likely have the butcher shop house flora on your salumi.

Yes they cured trusted and dripped them. They said it will take around 5 months till they are finished, I understand that mold would grow but I expected only white mold,
