Beginner Gardening: Cobweb like Mold & Green Algae on Jiffey Pots, 1 by aneissa

Hi Forum- I am attempting to grow broccoli, squash, carrots and tomatoes from seed in those Jiffey peat pots with the dome. Only one of my broccoli pots has sprouted and about 2-3 of the tomatoes (and none of the carrots). There also is this cobweb mold and what looks like green algae or fungus growing on many of the little pots. Help! Not sure what to do about this. I just noticed today that a couple more of the tomatoes are beginning to sprout despite this cobweb and green stuff. I also have only watered the little pots from the bottom up when I first planted the seedlings as they have retained their moisture and are still damp. I propped the dome because there was a lot of condensation on the dome and one or two of the pots had spouted. I am a first time grower and feel pretty clueless about the whole process. I have embarrassingly posted a pic here as it doesn't look good, but appreciate any help/feedback. Thanks!
