White spores?

#Pilea I’ve never had a Dark Mystery Pilea before but what are these things? I seen them throughout the entire plant. Are these normal?

Those might be the beginnings of flowers! Are they attached to the plant by a short stem?

@sarahsalith they are in the center of the plant leaves. I’ve never seen one of these so I don’t know if they flower?

Well, that's where they would stem from. 😉

Can you take a clearer picture?

@sarahsalith I looked it up and apparently they are spores and not fungus

This is what they look like before they really emerge.

Here's a picture of some almost-flowers on one of my plants - - they don't even LOOK like flowers yet.
