Does it look white and fuzzy? There is air movement around them but I have
noticed this white stuff on other plants too.. I started all of my seeds
with a new bag of "Potting Mix" so I hope there was nothing preexisting the
soil. Can I scrape this stuff off ?? Thanks for the help, I am really quite
upset about this, I have waited a long time for raised beds and to have the
time to really garden.

Most likely a thing called "damping off", I think it's fungus that
attacks the seedling at soil level. It's best remedied by keeping the
surface of the soil dry and keep some air movement around the seedlings.
Good luck,
