The start of the end of the world....... perhaps that’s just my Melbourne lockdown brain over-reacting!

Fungus not eggs. Not infectious but if you look closely you can see some blackening on the roots. This mold is usually the result of using an immature potting mix.

Hi Treeman, Never heard of this before, could you please expand on the explanation of immature potting mix?
Cheers
