The mold won't hurt those cherry seeds. Just dry them on the counter for a week or two. In fall plant them outdoors so they can go through the cold and wet of winter which prepares them to sprout. You can also put them in moist sand in a ziplock bag in the fridge for a month or two to accomplish the same thing.
QUESTION: When I try to save cherry seeds after eating them, they seem to develop a fair amount of mold/fungus on them. I then become concerned that the fungus/mold is going to destroy/rot the seed. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to save/dry the seed to prevent the mold/fungus? And in general when allowing plants to dry is there a special method to prevent mold/fungus from taking a hold of the plant?
