@SmallfryCat oof, don’t throw it out! Here’s an article on how to prevent it (after you repot) https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/preventing-mold-in-the-soil-of-a-houseplant.htm Good luck, you can do it!
@SmallfryCat use a well draining soil since those hold water in their trunks. Something like a cactus or succulent mix will work in a pinch.
@SmallfryCat I’m gonna go out in a limb and say that your pot, whether it has drainage or not, is the issue. I bet that the roots are blocking the drainage and water might be pooling at the bottom. Combine with lack of air flow and it s a recipe for mold. You can repot in a bigger pot for those 3 trunks, rinse with a hydrogen peroxide solution and mix cinnamon into the soil to help to continue combatting any spores or issue.
Diluted hydrogen Peroxide will kill it and aerate the soil just dilute in a spray bottle and treat once a week.
And better soil like tropical will help as well !
I regularly treat my plants with H202
