There’s some white fuzzy stuff growing on some leaves of my thyme plant. I’m assuming it’s some sort of fungi. Does anyone know what it is and how to treat it?

It’s powdery mildew, a fungus. I’ve not had fungus on an edible plant. I’m not sure what can be applied that won’t affect the taste/toxicity

Maybe use a clean paper towel ( or just a clean towel ) and carefully wipe it off the leaves?

I don’t know if that will work but it might help
