They look more like eggs than mold but I may be wrong

That's what my brother said too

More likely to be Leucocoprinus fungus. You can treat this by scooping up the visible mold, then mixing in cinnamon (a natural fungicide) into your topsoil

Plug "Leucocoprinus plant soil" into google images and you can do some visual comparisons :)

I think I might just keep it there because I never grew mushrooms
