It sounds to me like the mixture of your basement being wet (from all the recent rain) and the fluctuations in temperature from your furnace turning on and off have caused an amine blush to form. (I have had this happen before). Try washing the plugs with warm water with a little bit of dish soap. I bet the weird-looking finish washes away.

Try it.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
