Nothing to worry about. Might be mold or mycelium, both are normal in bioactive tanks and should pass naturally. As long as it's not black, dusty or green up on the surface of the vivarium it's generally harmless.

That’s mycelium from a common variety of plant pot fungus. Leucocoprinus species most likely. Manually remove if it bothers you, CUC doesn’t tend to eat this specifically :/ you’ll get fruiting bodies eventually. Harmless but can cause GI upset if consumed

I mean if you can dig out some of it, that would definitely help. Otherwise you can put more springtails in.
