Fungus, how to remove it?

Hey! I recently rehoused my psalmopoeus irminia. I used new substrate and it was a little bit moist, i thought it would dry out. The container is well ventilated (cross ventilation). I never spray water, i just refill the waterdish. Today i saw fungus and it smelled really bad. My irminia just webbed her tunnel system so i dont want to destroy it and rehouse her again! Do i let it dry out? Or what i must do? Because it can take a long time to dry out, especialy because its a tall enclosure en the substrate is deep.

Well the obvious answer is to change out the sub and put her in a temp enclosure while you sterilize the enclosure. We are talking fungus spors after all right which can infect your T and kill it. I keep all my Psalmos on dry sub without issue with a water dish. You have to ask yourself whats more important....your Ts webbing which it can and will rebuild or the life of your spider that can die a horrible death due to mold and fungus explosion in your Ts enclosure. Sounds like a no brainer to me.
