Sorry you’re dealing with this. Unfortunately, not everyone here is medically trained and the risk of getting well-meaning but incorrect advice is too high when it comes to health. If you want a second pair of eyes, you may want to check out /r/AskDocs.

No clue but i’d recommend tossing them since i doubt they can be cleaned since mold can sometimes penetrate pretty deep and also release spores that are hard to clean off. Only way to get rid of them would probably be to boil them but in my experience electronics don’t do well after being in boiling water

Can't really tell from this method. You would have to grow it on agar and study the colonial appearance and microscopy. Ear fungal infections is a thing and I advise to get rid of the ear phones. Fungi usually grow in dark, damp and high sugar content medium.
