This is green, so is algal growth rather than fungus. The ph of the compost can be a factor here plus keeping the surface too damp.

You could try a dusting of perlite or vermiculite after sowing. Very small seeds may need the covering slightly crushed to make it a little finer though the dampness is the main problem here.
