I washed the grapevine branch and left it in front of the fireplace to get warm and remove any water in the branch. I cleaned the vivarium and set it up again but the same thing happens. Do you think that I need to do anything else or change to another type of wood? If so, what would you suggest?

This is a picture of the vivarium right now. I still need to add more plants and hiding places but for now I need to solve this mold problem.
white fungus is normal in a newly set up tank. even in mature tanks, white fungus will appear from time to time. it will go away on it's own. normally in about 2-3 weeks. if you add springtails to the viv, they will eat it all you did with drying the wood out, is re-start the cycle in the wood
