Orange colouration in seedling media

Recommended Posts

I need some help identifying a potential fungal disease in my cactii seedlings.

Last night, I noticed an orange patches in some of my seedling containers and I'm really freaking out. Is this just some weird discolouration of the soil, or do you think this is a sign of disease? The soil media is 100% propagation sand.

I have searched similar topics, and found that fungicide or removing the lids to dehydrate the fungus is the best way of preventing further infection. What would you guys recommend when this happens? I'm leaning more towards removing the lids.

Thanks in advance

Yeh, I microwaved all my containers for about five minutes.
