I use copper spray for any fungal issues.
Lots of air movement will hel as well

Re: White fungi on liquid ambers
I can't really tell from the pictures but its easily fixed.
I would cover the soil with plastic then mix a solution of lime sulphur and garden oil diluted with water and give it a scrub with an old tooth brush. Be careful not to let this mix get into the potting mix.

Re: White fungi on liquid ambers
Mate, I'd be inclined to clean it off with soapy water and a tooth brush before using harsher methods
if it comes back then consider a stronger treatment. Or take it to a nurseryman for advice
that what I'd be doing
Remember to cover the soil to protect the roots
