Here is a simple test.

“The easiest way to differentiate between the two is via a water test. Spray a small quantity of water on the suspected substance. Efflorescence will quickly dissolve, while mold growth will remain. The mold growth will likely mat down a bit, so look carefully for lingering material.”
