That flat out sucks. Its from to much wtaer in vermiculite. Mold will start there. Not sure if one can get mold off. Best of luck to you. A good learning exp. lets be optemistic (can't spell) I've had a fell learning exp.

Try a q-tip, gently rub off the mold.

I wouldn't add any more moisture to the egg, I'd just use the q-tip, GENTLY.
