It's pretty blurry,but it looks like it might be fungus.
Can you get a better picture?

It's still hard for me to make out what it is.If it's just a substance I'd try unscented baby wipes to clean it off.If it's a wound you might try some blue kote,I'd clean it first though with a little sterile saline.Be careful not to get it in the nose.

I would get this little baby to a vet.
Looks bad to me and could interfere with his breathing.
Yes could be severe fungus but it could be a deformity too.
I wouldn't think twice about bringing him to a vet.

I agree ^^. I would get that baby into the vets ASAP. It could interfere with her breathing. It could be fungus or something else but she needs medical attention.
