Possible Fungus Infection

hello to all!

I am currently growing a collection of carnivorous plants and coming out of winter dormancy, I noticed my sarracenia Flava and sundew have this white dusty looking substance coated on its leaves. I've looked elsewhere that it could be a fungal infection of some sort but I can't identify what it is and how I treat it. Can someone offer me any advice?image

    I would remove as much of the growth with the mould on as possible and move the plant into as light a spot as possible and allow the compost to dry out a bit.  

    I think the mould is a result of cold and dampness.

     I have kept it in a shed all winter so it will go into dormancy and it does get damp so that might explain it. Thanks dovefromabove.
