I've had some cheap compost go mouldy before - white fur
coat on pieces of compost and white fillaments running
through it. Musty smell too. In which case I just mixed it
with garden soil and used it for potting on plants
(outside). I wouldn't use it indoors and definitely not for
seeds as they will likely rot.

No more likely to than normal. Most fungi (especially those that
have mycelium) are pretty specialised, and there is no particular
reason that those would attack seedlings. You aren't going to
avoid having fungi in your compost, unless you go in for laboratory
sterility, you know. Mould spores are ubiquitous.


You'll be saying next that you don't need to sterilise pots before sowing
seeds in them. ;-)

Pythium and Phytophthora know where you live...
