A mold called Penicillum-Candidum (sometimes Penicillum-Cammemberti). It is totally harmless and forms things like the skin on brie.

White mould appearing on chorizo is absolutely safe and fine to eat. In fact it is similar to the mould that appears in cheese and will add to the flavour.

It depends on the brand/type of cheddar cheese and white cheese. In many cases cheese is intentionally aged for better taste.

The rate at which something grows mold also has a lot to do with the conditions it is under, as well.
