White mould

Hi all, 

I'm pretty new to gardening, but, inspired by Poppy Okotcha I recently created a no dig bed. I've planted it up but now there's strange white mould around some of the plants. Is it mould?? And what, if anything, do I do about it? 

Thank you! 
Jennie

    Hi Jennie @j.coates88 and welcome to the forum. 

    That’s just moulds and fungi breaking down organic matter in the soil and compost into a form which will be accessible to the roots of your plants. 
    Perfectly normal … in fact ‘a definite good thing’. 
     Nothing to do but smile. 😃

    Thank you 😊 Ah fantastic! Dr Google was wrong then,  it said to remove the mould. Glad I waited for a gardener to respond instead.  Have a lovely day, thanks again 😊
