probably a natural fungus.. let it runs it's course.
often when we get new driftwood that has been submerged , we clean it.. this removes the fungus that had already run it's course and gets it started again.

apparently some people say it might be grapevine... can someone post a pic of grapevine so i see what it is and make sure its not that =p
grapevine is typically pretty light. Mopani is similar in appearance but much heavier.. Mopani like malaysia bog wood tends to sink.\
did this stuff float? is the exterior texture rough on the exposed wood?

Not sure of the type of wood. If it's OK for use in an aquarium, the white stuff on wood is fairly common - it will go away soon.
I had same experience... but I got my wood on my backyard lmao... my guppies loves those white cottony thing... none of my fish died by eating it
PS:
if you want it to go away, try boiling your wood from 1-2 hours
