Plus, if you have a few T's, then also buy a separate container. Place a few  springtails in your T's enclosure & the rest in your separate container.Sprinkle a small amount of yeast in both the enclosure & the container & mist it. Repeat the sprinkle & mist on each feeding day. The mould will vanish fairly quickly & your springtails will thrive. If you ever want any springtails for another enclosure, even if it's a dry enclosure & one where the springtails will not survive long. You now have a spare supply & I find a teaspoon full of springtail culture is all it takes to deal with any mould that arises.As Lawrence b said.  A little mould does no harm, other than visually.  And if the mould offends your eye, then simply remove that area of substrate with a teaspoon & either bin it, or let it dry out & use it again.Ebay normally has people selling spingtails for a few Euro.</blockquote>
