I bought this bag a few months ago and it’s still unopened but I noticed all this white popping up (apart from the perlite) which I assume is fungi. I suppose it’s no good anymore right?
Fungi isn’t really a problem, but that doesn’t look like good aroid mix to begin with

No, it needs to be aired out for sure. But from the look of it, that is not yet suited for aroid. Find some coconut husk bark and more perlite and add those to this.

I have fungi in mine all the time but this looks like average potting soil, not something specifically for aroids. I’d probably still use it but mix with orchid bark, coco chips and pumice or whatever you prefer for aroid mix.

Fungi got what plants crave
