It looks like the natural fertilizer in your potting soil is growing some light mold, just stir it up, its harmless

This is a fungus, not harmful. 1:3 peroxide: water spritz on will kill it. If youre nervous

Definitely fungus.

If you are really worried about it carefully take the plant out of the dirt and replace it with the dirt with some new dirt.
