Oh, ya'll, I'm flunking seed-starting 101!!!

I sowed my first seeds on Tuesday night and checked on em today for the first time. They were supposed to take 5-15 days to germinate. It'd only been 4 days and the seeds were up over an inch! They're Gomphrena seedlings and had been in a dark treatment (inside a black trashbag) for the past 4 days. They were in a very warm spot and they were evidently pretty wet.... you already know what I'm going to say don't you??? Ugh. There's a teeny bit of white cottony looking stuff at the base of nearly every seedling. Are they lost??? Can I save them???

I took the trashbag off a few minutes ago, and I've put a vented, clear, plastic lid on. I'll move them to bright, indirect light tomorrow. That is, if it's even worth it. I am going to be soooo BUMMED if these seedlings are lost. These are the plants I really, really want to have success with!!! Please help :(
