You can add some(not too much couple of rows should do it) top ventilation to increase air movement. Also at that size you can keep A genic considerably drier let say moist a corner and swap to different one once it starts drying up.Flooding the burrow most of times will cause mould on the cork due to further restricted air movement in the burrow try to moist away from it.It may be just bad batch of coco fiber.I have one atm that goes mouldy as soon as water touches it despite of good ventilation on the enclosure and previous batches had no similar issues.Now I swapped to sedge peat mixed with vermiculite for my enclosures with moist substrate.
