I use coir pots that you plant on without removing the seedling.

I suspect that it is a fungus I have transfered from my fingers. Does anyone know if this could be potentially harmful to my little seedlings? If so what other fungicide could I use?
Also I'm looking for some musa cavendishii super dwarf seeds/pups, does anyone know where I can get them? |
Try spraying the fungi with a strong solution of Green Tea that kills fungi and bacteria or you could try a 10% bleach and water mix but id be vary careful not to get any on the plants although this is a separate situation i often sprinkle Cinnamon powder around my new seedling really helps with damping off and iv noted that if there no fungi to begin with it never seams to grow if i get there first
