I have a morrocan euromastyc lizard that has this skin type of growth on the sides of his mouth, that seems to be growing. Sometimes it looks like a fungi, sometimes it looks like dead skin. Is there ay idea as to what it is?

Probably stomatitis or mouthrot. The mouth must be treated and the animal started on a regimen of appropriate systemic antibiotics. The animal's environment should be modified as necessary to aid in recovery. This happens frequently when the immune system is depressed b/c of something being off in the environment (nutrition, temperature, etc).
See links for more details.

If it's whitish colored, it could be either unshed skin or salt buildup. Take him to a herp vet to be sure.
