I’ve recently noticed my tires starting to peel like this.. I have around 450 miles on my bike (not including an additional 300 on the trainer though obviously I wouldn’t expect that number to matter for tire wear) is this something to worry about? What could be causing this? I’m worried I’m running the pressure too low. The tires say minimum 90psi, but the bike shop and online calculator suggested for me to be closer to 75 or 80..

pretty common for me just use a razor to cut it down and you should be good.
tire manufacturers sometimes put a piece of exposed fabric on the bead section of the tire to reduce friction and help the tire to get seated on the rim more easily. but there is usually nothing on the upper edge of that fabric that prevents the woven fibers from coming undone. some fibers coming away is normal. just cut them off with some flush cut side cutters.
