hi, i’m a little worried about my pothos, her leaves look pretty healthy but the top of the soil looks rough. does this look like mold or just roots at the top? If it’s mold, any advice on what I should do?

Looks like mold which is totally fine, scrap the mold off about an inch and add new soil if you like on top and just let the soil dry between watering. Happened to me a few times I just moved my plant somewhere it gets more light or I made sure the water is completely drain out when it’s time to water the plant
