It’s my first time using Elegoo PLA Pro. Majority of Bambu users gave good Amazon reviews, but I’m getting weird ultra fine hair/fungus mold like artifacts. It’s not stringing, I also dried it for a couple hours and it still produces the artifacts. Any idea how to get rid of it?
I usually only see that on PETG, it’s from fine threads sticking to the sock.
So, clean the sock & the tip of the nozzle.
One of those cheap little wire brushes works well.

Hot in the chamber is usually when these have popped up for me. Even with fans on they’ve appeared with some filament. Not all, not all at the same point.
If you didn’t leave the door open, do. If you have the lid on, removed it or prop it open. Just one of those things. A quick pass with a heat gun when it’s finished will clean it up.

I tried both suggestions and also dried it for two more hours, it’s better with less hairy stuff but didn’t eliminate all. I bet it’s a bad batch.
That does not seem like it is long enough. Even/especially new rolls can be very moist, so you may want to give it at least another 4-6h.

What is your hotend temp & what size nozzle are you using…??
220/55, it’s harden 0.4mm. with Bambu PLA Tough profile which has almost identical settings as tuned profile for Elegoo Rapid PLA +. Bambu PLA Tough prints beautifully with PLA+. I’ll try it again after drying PLA Pro for 6 hours.
Did you add an extra +5* for the hardened nozzle…?? (225/55)
Suggested max temperature is 210. I printed one at 210 with much better result, but still a bit of that stuff here and there. Thanks for the suggestion.
