Yes it is mold but i really have no idea how to get rid of it...never had that happen to me.

Mold likes wet and warm, so you likely are over-watering. Don't water every day. Get some fans in there to dry the top of the soil- I use computer fans. - Granny:hippy:

temps have dropped down to 55 farenheight and humidity is at 23% i checked today and most of the mold has dissapered. so i think ill be alright if i let the soil dry out and keep the temps down. thanks tho.
