soil White mold on surface of soil (pic)

The mold is growing on the surface of the soil inside the small pots my pepper plants are in. Is this bad? Do I need to get rid of it? If so, how?

The plants themselves are doing awesome and I'm going to move them outside real soon. Just wondering if the mold will eventually harm the plants?

Found this on a site, though I personally don't know anything about it:
White substances on the soil surface may indicate two things. If crusty or crystalline, it's probably an accumulation of salts. The crusty surface layer of soil can be removed and replaced with fresh soil between repottings. Refer to the previous section on "Feeding" for more information.

A white or light yellow mold-like growth may indicate the presence of a saprophytic soil fungus, a fungus that lives on dead or decaying matter. The fungus will not harm the plant but may indicate unsterile potting medium or an overwatered plant.

Here's the site:

Yep, looks like a fungus.

The kind that grows on ya???

Found out how the Mold was occurring

I was using filtered water to water my plants. Filtered through a "Pur" faucet water filter. I suppose the minute amounts of chlorine in Tap water is enough to kill the mold. Since I've switched to it......VOILA!!...... No more mold 8)
Oh btw, my Habanero's took over my Anaheims and are bigger now. Will have picks soon, after I plant them outside.
