@sophie.h I wondered if it was just a bit of frost in the pot? You will soon find out as it is getting warmer. Welcome to the forum I hope you wiil get alot of pleasure from gardening.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Thanks @GardenerSuze! I can already tell I'm going to love it. It is just a bit of melting snow thankfully. Not sure I'm ready to go into battle with snails just yet! 😅
@sophie.h Snail eggs are round and if you come across them you will often find a group of them, not something you see that often. Good food for the birds.

Had a squint - hard to tell but they look as if they're just one of the tiny mushrooms that often appear in damp conditions in compost. I doubt it's anything to worry about
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Okay, thank you! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if I do get rid of them, can I reuse the compost in the pot, or is it better to buy fresh?
Pests build up in old compost. Look out especially for vine weevil larvae. And fungus gnats. I don't want to give you nightmares, but Nature is red in tooth and claw.
Best always to use fresh compost.
