Fungus on Nep seeds

Api

Happy hour..
Hello everyone. This is my first try at nep seeds. I just got back from a weekend in Florida and started looking around my shelf. At first glance I thought they were germinating, but a closer look reveals it is indeed a fungus of some sort. Sorry for the blurry pic, I'm just showing the progression of mold:

All help needed!

Thanks!
 
Firstly, you really should have sown them a bit sparser, but you can still seperate them a bit, and remove any obviously moldy seeds, and maybe provide some ventillation..it looks very wet in there.
 
I took them of the tray since it was only there because I was gone. There isn't that much more room, but I'll see what I can do.
 
For me, when I see fungus on seeds sown on compost, I use some fungicide. If it is a lowland variety, I always apply after sowing. I have learned my lesson of retreating fungus laden prescious seed time and again with ppm. It is not fun when one has to resow hundreds.....
