I don't think that this sort of fungus growing on the surface of
seed pots is necessarily bad. Sometimes I get stuff apparently
growing on the soil surface, or other times on bits of seed coat,
but the seeds can still germinate well regardless. Don't give up
on the seeds just because of a bit of fungus.
