this lumpy black thing has been spreading across my terrarium and killing my mosses and liverworts. i've been trying to give my terrarium more air so it dries out but that's not really stopping it. what should i do? can i treat it with alcohol without harming the plants or springtails?

light and watering information do not seem that applicable honestly but all of the moisture comes from misting and the substrate has often been very wet. my terrarium gets plenty of artificial light

i just bought these two plants from the website adiantum time (https://www.adiantumtime.com/)! selaginella iridescens is an iridescent rosette-forming selaginella from hainan island first discovered in 2021 (yang et al., 2021), and selaginella "dwarf blue purple" is an iridescent trailing species that seems to grow short rhizomes and bilaterally symmetrical cones (the plant was sporulating!) i hope to identify it to species. the plants were shipped on 9 april and arrived on 17 april, 8 days later, in perfect health with no signs of damage or stress. the woman running the company was very nice and gave advice on how to properly care for the plants. i did have to pay using WISE international bank transfer but it wasn't too difficult. i would reccomend adiantum time for other selaginella fans!!
