My whole batch of heirloom tomato seeds got moldy in the fridge

I was saving some seeds from my Cherokee Purples last fall, put them in a paper bag in the fridge drawer. Checked them last week to start some indoors and they were just covered in fuzzy gray mold, total loss. I guess the bag wasn't dry enough when I stored them, rookie mistake lol. Has anyone else had this happen and found a better way to keep seeds dry?

Mine molded in a jar once, so frustrating!

That's the worst. It feels like a personal betrayal from your own fridge. There's this whole hidden life of food spoiling just out of sight. You buy something with good intentions, forget it for a week, and then it's a science project. Makes you wonder how much perfectly good stuff we all lose that way.
