    I would just scrape away the rope layer of dirt

    I’d toss out all that soil and start fresh if it keeps returning.

    Mold is actually not harmful so don’t stress about it! But I would definitely remove it!

    This does tend to happen after you fertilize your plants. As the comment above states, it’s not harmful, even some mold can be good. Cinnamon is also a natural anti-fungal, you can coat the mold and you should see it start disappearing within a day or so.
