Default White Fuzz on Phal

I potted a bunch of seedlings in spag. over a week ago, now as the spag has dried out, I am starting to see more and more white fuzzy growth on a few of the roots that are sticking above the spag. It seems mostly on the browner or more shriveled roots. Some had damage from the bare root shipping. Should I be concerned about the continuation of this as rot? I ordered some physan 20, should I give them a dunk in that for good measure?

Hello and welcome to the OB.
White fuzz...is this mold?
How is your air circulation around the seedlings?
Can you post a picture?

Welcome to OB! White fuzz does sound like mold. If you have a photo, that would be nice. Spraying them with Physan may not be a bad idea though.

I really haven't been able to take pics, but the white fuzz has grown to cover some of the spag. I believe it to be mold, and I did dip them in physan, but it has not seemed to help. I don't have a fan on them, so I am going out to buy one to stir the air. What can I treat the mold with? Or will the fan be enough?
