Mould in tank?

Having a bit of paranoia with my Lasiodora Parahybana tank. Used the blocks of coco fibre that you wet and break up for the bedding. But have been noticing white forming on the bed. Granted she’s been webbing it up as well, but getting concerned as to whether or not there is mould amongst it. We can’t change her tank tonight as we currently have a lack of substrate. If anyone can either confirm or put to rest my paranoia I’d be grateful.

I’m not 100% sure if that’s mold, but if it is as long as it’s taken care of before it gets out of hand your spider should be fine. Just carefully remove any that you see

From my understanding the white stuff isn't a huge deal - just spoon out what you can easily remove and let the enclosure dry up a little it should go away.

Thank you both for responding. I'll take both bits of advice on board. It's put some ease to my mind.
