Can seeds start to mold when germinating?

Probably this quesyion is reaaally stupid, but I'm gonna ask anyways. Can seeds start to mold while germinating if done incorrectly? I got my seeds from an old dry plant about a year ago and was skeptical about them even then. Now I tried germinating 10 of them and some have started to, what it seems like, mold. Is it possible? How should you properly germinate these fuckers?
please help

Anything can start to mold anywhere at anytime. So, yes. Next time put them in a plastic bag in papertowel, use rockwool or plant directly into soil. Using a cable tv box or a germination mat will help a lot. Cheers.

The ones that mold are the ones that were dead and would never have germinated.

To germinate them, keep them in a moist, slightly warm (not more than 80F) place.

Some use paper towels. Some use peat starter pots, and some use (gasp!) good old fashioned dirt.
Some people like to scuff the surfaces of seeds lightly with an emery board to help water get in faster.
Some people like to immerse the seeds in a cup of water for a few hours, again, basically just to help water get in faster.

With rare exceptions, any that will germinate should do so within a week. In fact, most of the ones that will germinate will do so within 3 days.

As mentioned, if any of the seeds start to mold, they were probably non viable to begin with, but this CAN happen if the seeds are totally immersed in water and left there too long. Again, you want the seeds MOIST, you do NOT want them "dunked" in water (like dropping them to the bottom of a cup of water and leaving them there!).
