Thrips sized black bugs inside buds??

Some of my plants caught some mold and as I went in to cut off all the infected areas I found these tiny black bugs that look a lot like thrips crawl out of it. The surrounding area of where the mold was, was surrounded by black specks and I even noticed some translucent smaller offspring of the things. They looked like fungus gnat larvae. Any clue what they are? Never heard of these types of pests ever... because I'm almost pretty sure fungus gnats don't reproduce inside buds... maybe possible if bud rot was present?
