Help! I watered my pothos and saw this in the dirt. Plant seems to be healthy except for the new leaves looking a bit brown. Any ideas? Mold? Pests? I’m new to this haha

Definitely mold! Start by isolating your plant, since mold can quickly spread from one pot to another. Then, in a well-ventilated area, scrape away the top few inches of soil. If the mold is relatively new, that should do the trick. If the mold is deeper than an inch or returns after a few weeks, you need to repot the plant entirely using an organic soil made for potted plants.

mold isn’t inherently harmful, it is however an indicator of either over watering, not enough airflow, or both

Mold! Check the roots/soil. It can be caused my overwatering
