Fungi on blooming violet

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for advice.

I'm a terrarium beginner. I choose to start my second terrarium with a 13 gal. tank, a full sized african violet, and some moss and clover from my backyard. I now know that adding the plants from my yard was a risky think to do, introducing unknown fungi, bug, and other wildlife into a closed environment, but that's all in retrospect.

All the plants are thriving. The african violet put out about 25 blooms two weeks ago. Here's the big 'but', all the blooms have fungal blooms on their stamen. It's bright green like bread mold and the same fuzzy consistency as bread mold as well. I picked off all the flowers, but this week the new buds still have it. What to do? I want to enjoy the flowers, not continue to cut them off.

Any ideas?
