I sprouted some popping corn as an experiment on the fridge. 4 of 5 sprouted, but three are moldy. Can I salvage them, or should I just toss the moldy ones? I didn't want to put them into soil without knowing.
Moldy seedlings/sprouts?

I would guess the moldy ones are goners- but it really wouldn't hurt to put them in the ground. The worst thing that could happen, would be they rot...Let us know your progress...

If they're actually *moldy*, the whole little seedling covered, they are probably a goner.
However, make sure that you are not looking at root-hairs, wee fuzzy white stuff coming sideways off the root. They are normal
Good luck, have fun,

Unfortunately, they're definately moldy. The seedling itself is moldy, as well as the kernels. It's green mold. :/

Bleh! Not likely to be worth expending further effort on, then.

Thank you. I didn't want to plant them and waste the soil (lol, I'm a cheapy and had to BUY soil) if they were junk. Good thing they were just the popcorn sprouts. Hopefully the rest don't get moldy. :/
