Fungus (Leucocoprinus birnbaumii), results from having lots of organic material with nothing to eat it. Usually sorts itself out after a while once the other microorganisms get involved but this is quite severe.
When making substrate I usually have a variety of inorganic (e.g. sand, pumice) and organic (e.g. compost, bark) ingredients, and throw in some soil from previous terrariums which have a balanced microbiome to colonise the new soil, also springtails to help maintain it.
