wheat straw has white growth, bad for new grass ?

[robb]

i have some wheat straw i planed to cover a large patch of bare dirt=20 that I prepped, spread new seed and starter fertilizer.

The wheat straw was very damp and had some white fuzzy growth in it=20 ?? (mildew/mold/fungus) ??

Will this wheat straw white growth be bad/harmful cover for the grass=20 seed ?

Thanks for any helpful replies,

-- Thanks dpb,

I got the wheat straw from H.D. Do you know what the powdery white fluffy stuff is ? It looks menacing=20 ?

Does it matter what kind of seed or fertilizer i use ? I used scotts/rebel fescue - shade tolerant varieties + annual rye +=20 scotts starter fertilizer

i know some seed says it has fungicide on the seed (ie. pennington) Thanks again for the reply. robb
