Spray it down with a hydrogen peroxide solution! See if you can save it!

I would recommend doing that as well and also peeling the brown layer from the corns and brand new medium. I’ve seen them grow best in spagnum moss or perlite

thank you! i unfortunately just ran out of peroxide but ill pick some up tomorrow

Let it sit in the peroxide for a minute or so. And I'd probably scoop out what you can and drench the stratum, just in case there's more spores

Be sure to dilute the peroxide.
