This is simply a sign that the composted manure has been sitting or aged awhile, resulting in either actinomycetes or fungus mycelium. Fungi and actinomycetes in the compost is a good thing. There are different types of actinomycetes bacteria present in compost and each has a very specific role–all of which are important. In short, the compost should be perfectly safe for mixing into the soil around your veggies and plants.
