If you're willing to do a little work, find your local plastics supplier. Most sell offcuts of acrylic by the pound. Alternatively, look for cheap pictures at goodwill. Many cheap frames things use Plex/acrylic instead of glass. Cut two pieces of plastic, one the size of the opening you want to cover, one a 1/2" larger on its radius. Attach the two pieces with acrylic adhesive and you have a custom lid. Acrylic is easy to cut by hand with a cheap coping saw, but if you have access to a band saw or jigsaw, they'll cut it as well.

The cheapest solution is direct sunlight. Mold hates UV-C. If that isn't an option, lowering the humidity can help. Alternatively, wait it out and see what happens, frequently mold will flare up, then die back when it runs out of food. I've also had success by adding a small fan to larger builds, but that requires additional planning and power.
