Is this a fungus growing on my mystery gender golden comet? It is whitish.

I agree, I think it's probably Fowl Pox as well. If the lesions are just on the comb, I would be inclined to leave them be so it does not spread more. Uncomplicated Dry Form of Fowl Pox will resolve on it's own in several weeks.

Watch to see that she is eating/drinking well.

It is definitely eating, it is a pig.
