Oh no!!!! somehow that soil got a fungus--maybe it was already in the soil? Anyway, all the conditions that are good for seedlings (heat, moisture) are also good for fungi. I'd separate the living ones if I could, and then sterilize anything I wanted to use again.

It is a dahlia! "Firepot" is the variety name
