On the one hand, the humidity sounds a little low (when I measured mine it was over 80%). On the other hand, the white stuff is mold. The eggs are likely no good, either because they weren't fertile, because they were fertile but the embryos have stopped developing for unknown reasons, or they stopped developing because the humidity may have been too low. Keep the eggs till they either hatch or stink.

This is coming more from what I have read than what I have experienced, but sometimes in the handling of eggs the embryos can become dislodged and fail to develop. It's important to ensure that the top of the egg, as it was laid, is still the top of the egg once in the incubator.

I think we're just stabbing in the dark at this point, we don't know very much about what you did other than the substrate they were in.
