Bonsai growing mushrooms?

Hello guys I bought this Bonsai a couple of months ago. The white things on the soil look like tiny mushrooms. I have no idea what to do at this point. It seem to have mold ?

Most likely you are over-watering. Wait until the plant feels lite before watering again. Or use the chopstick method..

If you have mushrooms, you have decaying media or roots. It may be time to repot soon.

My Fukien Tea Tree has mushrooms. Lots of them. I just recently repotted and I know I don't overwater. So the spores must have been in the soil, although none of my other plants have them. But I like them, they look cool..
