white fuzz

Within the past few weeks I have seen a white fuzz showing up at the base of several of my plants. Of about 40 total (all grown inside my apartment), I have seen a white fuzz on 4 or 5 of them. These plants are not in close contact - 3 of them are in different rooms - and are different types. We have had a lot of rain and, I presume, greater humidity on the whole. The fuzz has been on the roots or at the base of the plant and so far the plants show no other symptoms. It washes off pretty readily with fresh water but then shows up again a day or two later. Attached is a picture of said white fuzz on at root of a phal that I bought as a rescue about 6 months ago. The other picture attached is the same plant, showing two spikes! I don't want to take any drastic action while the plant is spiking, but I'd hate to have anything spread and get worse. Thoughts on what this white fuzz is, whether I should worry right now, and if so how to get rid of it? Thanks,

Dan
