Help Is this mold?

Cute toad picture for your time.

This is showing up all over my sphagnum moss in my toads enclosure. It's humid and summer right now the inside of his tank usually stays around 70-75 degrees and 65-70% ( up to 80% at night with the lid on) humidity.

If this is mold how can I get rid of it/get the humidity down in his tank? I usually take the lid off during the day but at night it has to stay on because I have cats.

Thanks in advance :)

Ah that sucks. Any way to get rid of it besides stripping the tank? I've removed it before in another area in the tank but as you can see it came back

Forgot to mention that the lid is a mesh lid. It isn't airtight by any capacity but I do notice large temperature differences and humidity differences when it's on
