Mold!!!
Depending on the mold, it can be bad (especially in an enclosed environment). Green froathy mold on tree bark is alright, but the white stuff has to go. You’re supposed to spot-clean the tank floor once in a while and remove the fecal matter to prevent this. Not to mention clean out the substrate and replace it at least once a month. To completely irradicate the mold on the bottom of the accessories, scrub them under hot water.
Do NOT lower the humidity of the tank by less misting. The geckos will suffer from dehydration if you do this. Raising the heat also wont help the geckos or mold.
