It's dirt/debris/faeces/literally anything other than fungus. Saprophytic moulds/fungi (which are the only ones you're ever likely to encounter as a keeper) don't grow on living things because they require dead/decomposing things to feed off of.

I have heard of seasoned keepers treating the rear of t blondi abdomens which as they get bigger are prone to fungal infections .which is why most keep their larger specimens dryer .the product in question is called myocite I believe although whether it's needed in any case is unlikely.
