Well, the only thing about that is that while Mold is a type of fungi, it can cause a lot of health issues to both snake and handler. While some mushrooms do prove to be a good bioactive spot and I would probably not mind that either, I can't type the Mold and find out whether it is dangerous or not, so I'd rather get rid of it just in case! Breathing in Mold can also be destroying to someone's immune system and especially in times of covid I need all the good air I can get! I can go into all of that in bigger detail if you'd like, but the main idea is that while some fungi like mushrooms are probably safe, Mold that you cannot type is better safe than sorry.
-however if you have isopods who eat the mold, then I'm sure it would serve as a wonderful fuel to the little economy in the tank. But without them I'm not exactly sure how that would work. I've never thought of putting sand in. That's really interesting I need to look into that.
