It is mold, I believe, possibly from the soil staying too too moist (overwatering or sitting in in excess water (sometimes mine get it from humidity trays being too full )) I sprinkle cinnamon (a natural anti-fungal) and it clears it up, plus let it dry out before re-watering!

Take the top layer of soil off too!

Do you water with tap water water? Maybe that’s just the residue of the chemicals… I was using tap water before, and that’s exactly what happened to mine.
