Dark looking fongus are bad but white looking like this are generally a good signs ( it's all the same with the beneficial fungies ) , so maybe you have a beneficial fungi in your soil or a beneficial fungi is degrading something that is in the soil like a small branch or anything organic.

Thank you very much guyz! I was a bit scared. :D I have soil from my friend. He has recommended it to me, cuz in that soil were growing champignons for couple of years.. So I’m so happy that everything is okey and I don’t have to worry about it. :) Once again, thanks a lot! And feel free to give me advices. This is my second grow, the first I failed (begginer’s mistakes) :D I’d be grateful for every help/advice. :)

Hi @StraightLine your substrate seems to me to be soaked too much and ends up creating mold. try to let the substrate almost dry between irrigations, the roots need a lot of oxygen to grow through the substrate. you should add 20% -30% perlite to that soil by doing a transplant, it will drain the water better and the roots and plants will grow better. good luck mate 🙏👍

You have a strong soil, that's perfect, and that's why everyone is behind myco products and inoculant. To make it alive.

To me it looks like nothing to worry about! If you are concerned tho you can mix that top soil and break that "mold*" apart and maybe cover the pot with clay pebbles or perlite or something so you will block the light coming to the soil. It will reduce all kind of molds and fungi and even pests. And it looks nice. ALl in all, dont worry about it and enjoy the babies grow!

Will block oxygen from getting to your roots. Scrape 1/2 inch off top layer and add fresh soil. Don't water for few days let top of soil dry out. Should be fine after that.

hola amigo, en mi opinion, si realizas cultivos orgánicos, no deberías preocuparte por este hongo, ya que es de color blanco.... y no azulado o verde, que serian perjudiciales para tus plantas, si has inoculado algún tipo de michorriza o trichoderma o algún tipo de bacillus, estos están ahora colonizando el medio, y es muy buena noticia que tengas de estos en tu cultivo, de hecho yo he llegado a producir pequeños champiñones a partir de este hongo en mis cultivos orgánicos ! buena suerte con esas babys🙌🙏💪
