      Thank you! I dug em out, sprayed with neem oil and they’re outdoor plants now hahaha! Also spraying the plants near them.

    I had the same "egg" looking things show up in a bag of soil. I took it back to the nursery, they said it was OK. It actually was a type fungus. Harmless, look up "flowerpot parasol", but I agree, grossed me out. It's the moisture and soil nutrients. Try to increase the airflow. It maybe because the rocks are keeping the soil too moist.

    It’s egg mold, I agree you can scoop it out. It’s caused by humidity in the soil and is very normal
