What Is This White Coating On My Four O’clock Seeds?

Question

I’m collecting the seeds as they fall off of last seasons plants, to replant them in a different area of the yard, but some of the seeds already collected, have a white coating of something on them. Are they no longer viable?

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to see the problem in question.

Generally, fuzziness on seeds can be attributed to fungal issues. In most cases, it renders seeds non-viable.
