    It could be some kind of pest/pest eggs or a fungus. Are they moving? Is there any damage to the plant or chewed holes on it?

      No damage but since theyve shown up my plants that are in the pot just look droopy and havent been growing as much

      Forgot to say that they arent moving. The only thing i noticed is the leaves are a little yellow in spots but i would assume its because of too much sun? I transferred them over into just water for now just in case

      They could be looking droopy from those or from something completely different lol, plants are picky but I’d recommend just throwing out the soil and and potting it with new dirt. If you do happen to see bugs on the plants you can look into pest treatment like neem oil or captain jacks pesticide :)

    It's a bit hard to tell at that stage, but since it looks like the entire pot, I'd guess it's the earliest stages of a mushroom bloom, probably flowerpot parasol. It's a harmless fungus that just does well in the same conditions as plants. If you leave it alone, it makes a pretty yellow mushroom. Here's a close-up of what it looks like in the middle stages of a bloom. It'll cover the whole soil surface, then disappear for a bit before the mushroom fully blooms

      Its hard to say, i dont want to risk it being something bad because it is all over most of my potted plants. I dumped out the dirt and ended up putting the plant in a thing of water, i dont know how well putting it just in water will work but maybe itll be okay??
