Looks like a slime mold, of which im not sure. Guessing the pod is getting too wet? With no pics of the setup all I can do is guess why
Hit it with h202. Should kill whatever that is without hurting the roots.
It’s biofilm.
>A biofilm is a community of microorganisms, such as bacteria, that adhere to a surface and are encased in a self-produced, gooey matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). This slime-like film provides a protective environment for the microorganisms, making them highly resistant to antibiotics and making biofilms a significant problem in medical, industrial, and domestic settings.
Old timers used to toss a silver coin into the milk bucket to make it last longer before spoiling. I’d be curious to see if that has any merit to fighting microbial. Guess I have an experiment to do now.
