Bad w/hsplnts

Anyone what know what this is on the soil at the base of my peace Lilly? Plant seems fine, but I’m not sure if it’s a fungus or just minerals from the soil. It’s an indoor house plant and I’ve been following the watering schedule.

    That's mold. Either just scoop it out, treat with a fungicide/moldicied that's plant safe

    Ground cinnamon should help too. Just means the top soil is still moist and in a warm environment.

    Thanks guys. The room that it’s in is really warm during the summer. I will try the cinnamon. I also read that neem oil may help. I just don’t want it to spread to the plant or roots.

    it’s mold. not harmful in and of itself but it can be an indicator of overwatering or lack of airflow around the plant which both can cause issues if left alone. back off watering and open a window or turn on a fan would be my recommendation. you can scrape off the fuzz too if you like

    Welp PF, I think you may have hit it on the head. It is a humid room, with absolutely no air flow. I can put a fan in there to move the air around. Thanks
