Webbing or mold?

I don't think I've spilled any water here, so unless there's something wrong with the plastic leaf I don't see how it could be mold.

Looks to be webbing as Enn49 has stated. Mold spores will have a rounded appearance either white or yellow, typically the color of the mess I sometimes have to deal with! There's also brown,black mold but have not had issues with these colored molds thankfully!!

I've had a few small outbreaks of the stuff that looks a bit like webbing but it was always easy to get rid of unlike the white or yellow garbage.
I took it out pretty sure it was mold as I've seen it under the water dish a few times. Not sure how it's happening, as my Amblypygid has a constantly all moist substrate and I get zero mold in there. If I had to guess it's because it's all loose coco fiber in the Amblypygid enclosure and doesn't have any of the moist sphagnum peat moss I was using in the T enclosure in the lower areas.
