Hello,
I don't usually save seeds cause I'm bad at it but I have saved some chocolate habanero seeds. I did not expect them to germinate as they're really not in great condition.
Alot have germinated but now I'm thinking is it even a good idea to plant them.
Alot of seeds are black in the centre or are browning in parts, growing some mould ect. The plants the seeds came from did have a fungal disease that killed the plants but I'm unsure whether that'd spread through seed.
Should I plant these? Or will it just cause disease issues? They don't look healthy

Sprouting means they’re viable! Don’t worry about the color. It is just a rule of thumb for saving them

They might have the same disease, so I would plant them separately
Could just be a little mold from the wet paper napkin.
If you want peppers plant the seeds.
Take off the helmet heads with a toothpick this your first rodeo huh
What sort of fungal illness was the demise of the plant they came from?
You can sterilize seeds by soaking them in 3% hydrogen peroxide, the most common H2O2 found in pharmacies, for a couple of minutes and rinsing them. MIght reduce germination though and probably would kill sprouted seeds
