Right now my bud is drying, in a dark closet with no oscillating fan, and the temps are reading 76 F, and between (50 and 56 RH). Are those temps ok??? I do not want to get mold!!! Thanks for anybody who responds!!!! 
Harvest & Curing No mold!!!!

A fan or two will circulate air within the drying room. Fans will aid in drying the plants evenly, and reducing the chances of mold.
If mold starts and is allowed to grow, it might ruin all of your crop. Mold looks like white fuzz and has an odor that is unpleasant.
You will have to keep the temperature and humidity within a certain range for optimal results.
Conditions should remain constantly somewhere within the following ranges, temperature should be between 65-75 degrees F, relative humidity should be between 45%-55%.
At temperatures lower than 65 degrees, drying time will be lengthened. At temperatures higher than 75 degrees, the heat will cause the outer portion of the bud to dry quicker than the inner part, and the taste will suffer.
At humidity levels lower than 45%, the marijuana will dry too fast and the taste will suffer. At humidity levels higher than 55%, the marijuana will take a long time to dry, and it will be prone to mold.

Have you tried the paper bag method as championed on here? I tried it on my last harvest and was very impressed with the results, although i didn't realise how hard it was to actually get a paper bag nowadays lol! It sped the drying process up slightly but more importantly it eradicated that 'hay' smell stage you get when hanging buds, the buds retained their flavour before curing, giving you some half decent smoke before a cure.
I go to McDonalds for my paper bags. It's a necessary evil. 
It's 80% RH here today, it usually is. Nothing dries in the winter, not even washed clothes. I attached a drying line in my tent above the plants where the rising heat from the lamp and the fans dry them. It's not perfect, but mould is otherwise certain.
The mould spores are everywhere in the air. It is pointless attempting sterilising because more will always enter. They land on the surface of the leaves but to germinate they need a film of moisture. The heat and the fans prevent this film. Mould starts in the crevices because that is where moisture collects. Indoors this moisture comes from the transpiration of the plants themselves. Clearly the water in dead plant material must still escape through the surface , dampening it creating a mould habitat. A bud in a plastic bag at 80F will rot real fast. It is the air circulation that you need.
