Got some seeds and germinated via wet towel.
After one noght of putting them in the towel they had gone kinda hairy, fuzzy, and obviously hadn't opened up yet (it was only one night).

But now, a good few days later, 8 out of 11 of them germinated, nice long shoots (one had already a big of the stem), but the shoots are also fuzzy with white hairy crap.
So they seemed to have grown with the fuzziness, so I don't think it's mould (at least not dangerous to the plants)...

Anyone know about this, what I should do etc...
For now I'm just going to grow them as normal.

PS. One of my other plants, almost 4 weeks old had two of its small bottom leaves shrivel up and die..I heard this is normal so I'm not too worried, should I be?

Attatched is a picture of one of the hairy seedlings...sorry for low quality, was done with a phone camera
