even if it is mold, plant em anyway. I germinated way too long and there was mold on parts of all of them. I was sure I was just waisting my time, but I put em in dirt anyway, and all and then some sprouted, now all of them have fuzzy little buds started.
BEST OF LUCK!

Without a pic it's just a guess. My guess mold. But go for it and plant those babies. See what happens.

Nah, for sure it's normal to have transverse rootlets growing from the radicle - if you looked at them under a microscope you'd see they're like little hairs to increase surface area therefore water absorption
