First ponytail palm. I watered it yesterday and this yellow stuff is now in the soil. Fungus or new life? SOS 🆘

    Well yes, it is a fungus. It won’t hurt the plant. However, you might consider watering less often. A fungus wouldn’t normally thrive in the conditions ponytail palms prefer. Ponytail palms are succulents and prefer the soil to dry out or else it could lead to root rot. I actually wait until the caudex itself starts to shrivel a little.
