Re: Plant mold.. anyone??
Just re-pot it. Ditch that soil and put fresh soil in... and wash the pot well first.
Also, knock the soil off the roots and gently wash them before re-potting.
I've gotten that and other types of molds and fungus (even mushrooms) growing in my house plants from time to time, especially when the weather/seasons change and yes, it will just pop up one day when a spore gets into the house.
It's probably more like a fungus than a mold, especially if it just suddenly appeared in such quantity so quickly.
