It’s probably salts from the soil and fertilizer if it’s chalky. It’s probably fungus from wet soil and organic potting mix if it looks cottony in some areas.

Agree. Looks like mineral build up from watering. Also, this potting mix looks really dense for a succulent. You’ll need to add sand, pumice or some other type of grit to this mix.
