Old (dead) worm bin growing moss; safe to dump in my garden beds?

A while back last year I made a post here asking if the castings from my worm bin were okay to use if the worms had died. You all were very helpful and assured me they were. Since it’s spring now and I’m starting my yearly garden, I went to dump them into my beds like I had planned but then saw what looks like moss growing on the surface.

The second bucket also seems to have some algae growth, and the bottom bucket must have collected some rain water at some point, which also has algae growth now lol

I assume that this is a very dumb question and that it’s still fine to throw these castings into my garden lol. But I wanted to double check with other people first. What do you guys think?
