My question is, is the fungi anything to worry about, I have been using organic composts so could the spores have come from there?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Please see the pictures for the fungi. The small fungi I saw in another pot.

Hi Emma,

we've had those too, once, on indoor flower seedlings that got over-watered. Not sure what they are, but then we didn't eat our flower seedlings. You, on the other hand, are going to eat your lettuce, so you mind want to get rid of the fungi and spray the lettuce seedlings with H2O2 (a mix of half water and half 3% H2O2).
