I put cowpea (vigna unguiculata) seeds in an oven at 30°C, the first 2 days the seeds germinated normally but after 72 hours I observed a blue color in the absorbent paper as well as lesions on the seeds and the germination stopped, in the meantime I put other seeds at 25°c and they germinated normally and without any strange color.
I will say that is fungus! Try it under suitable microscope.wish you luck.
Medhat Elsahookie can it be fungus even if there is not a mycélium ?
yes it may be bacteria because there is a little viscosity thank you .

try the experiment again at that temperature with the items sterilized
I would suggest to repeat the experiment, but please ensure that seeds are sterilized properly before the experiment is set up. Thank you
