It is that time of year. Time for mites, stick tight fleas, lice. I cant tell for sure unless you are close up, but most of these can be cured by smothering them with a mineral oil. The stick tight fleas dont look like fleas to the naked eye, they may look like a fungus I suppose. She will get more around her mouth, eyes, anywhere there is moisture. Check her vent to see if there are any white clusters at the base of the feathers.

I have not actually heard of a fungus growing on a chicken as usually a fungus needs moisture. Are there any black spots on her comb? Or is it just the white.

I dont see any black spots, but I just want to ask to be sure.
