Located at the end of its burrow where I do see some poop stains around... Is this mold or silk? Species: Megaphobema Robustum. If it is mold do I have to rehouse?

It looks like mold but it isn't an issue. Seems a little wet in the bottom of the burrow. Let things dry a bit down there and when you need to add water to the substrate, do it carefully and away from that area.

Looks like you have just coir in there. Coir is extremely low in nutrients and usually inhibits fungus. Drying it out will rapidly eliminate that mycelium.

How would I dry it out? Just waiting? Also is this mycelium harmful to the T?

If that is a recess with standing water at the bottom, then just dig a small channel along the side to the bottom to allow air exchange.

No standing water at the bottom, there is some excrement, but other than that it doesn't look very moist
