Hey everyone,

Sorry if this topic has been mentioned before (as it almost certainly has!), but what do I do about white fuzzy fungus?? I thinks it's going to eat my seedlings before long...

Thanks.

just scrape it off. For me a good misting will probably get it off and put it in bright sunlight.

Yep, Eric's right, just scrape it off.

However, to properly address the issue, you should reconsider your growing conditions. If you have fuzzy mold growing, you're likely keeping them too wet and not giving them enough air movement.

I had the same problem.

Just gently pull or rub off the mold.
It comes from having an extremely wet environment with low air circulation, so just use less water and allow more air around your seeds/seedlings.

Basically, just do exactly as Matt said. XD

Your plants will be fine.
