The wheat straw was very damp and had some white fuzzy growth in it

Will this wheat straw white growth be bad/harmful cover for the

Thanks dpb,
I got the wheat straw from H.D.
Do you know what the powdery white fluffy stuff is ? It looks menacing
?
Does it matter what kind of seed or fertilizer i use ?
I used scotts/rebel fescue - shade tolerant varieties + annual rye +
scotts starter fertilizer
i know some seed says it has fungicide on the seed (ie. pennington)
Thanks again for the reply.
