Material Growing Inside Garage Walls

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me identify what I've found in my new garage. It's white and looks kind of fluffy and it's on various parts of the wall. The garage was built in the 1940s (I think) and made out of stone.

 

Thanks

    Sodium nitrate dissolving in water in the masonry and as water evaporates leaves white or clear crystals behind.

     

    pinch a small sample, it will dissolve in water
