Help! White fungus on my seedling!

[MoldyKingCoCo]

So I have sprouted a coconut palm and it was doing well for the first few days. But now the seedling is covered in a white fuzzy fungus, and the coconut also has a few patches of it as well. I am using the plastic bag method for germination due to the fact that the coconut is without its husk. So I can't really lower the humidity or the sprout will die right? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!

Oh yikes  thought of some hydrogen peroxide diluted mixture on that?

[MoldyKingCoCo]

I was thinking about that, but would the peroxide be to strong for the plant?

[Rickybobby]

I’ve had good luck with hydrogen peroxide I mix 4-1 water. We only get Max 5 percent here I think anyway I’ve watered palms with troubled roots  used them down the crowns no problem. Mix a very light mixture up and just soak the affected area I find let it go until all fizzing stops

Soak it in full strength hydrogen peroxide. H2O2 will attack microbes and disinfect dead/dying tissue without damaging living/healthy tissue. Repeat as necessary. Whether the nut is viable only time will tell.

Thank you guys for all the help. I've been treating it and the fungus is clearing up!

I poured full strength H2O2 into my spear pulled palms and they came back just fine! Does nothing unless you're an anaerobic bacteria or fungus.
