The fuzzy white mold on houseplant soil is usually a saprophytic fungus, which gets its food from dead organic matter. When you see the mold on houseplant soil, don't panic. Just scrape the mold away. This is most cause by overwatering.

That looks like mold. I would recommend scraping the layer of mold off and sprinkling some cinnamon on the top of the soil. Cinnamon has anti fungal properties and it works great!!!
