When transplanting some pot plants I've noticed that there is a fluffy white
fungus type of material on the decomposing matter in the soil. The plants
themselves haven't been very healthy and I wondered if the white stuff was
in some way responsible for the poor health and very limited growth of the
plant?

Was it potting mix? You often get fungi growing on the little bits of pine
bark in potting mix.

Your plants might have grown poorly because the fungus was a baddie, but it's
more likely that they had too little/too much fertiliser or water.
