A few of my pots got infested with these things. Maybe woody?

Are you familiar with all the Dogwood and Viburnum species in your area, and what their seedlings look like? If no large seeds could get through the mesh covering, then where did your soil come from? I think if the pictures were a bit clearer they would probably ring a bell for someone.😃🛎

Hard to tell, but these don't appear to have opposite foliage So neither Dogwood nor Viburnum. Clearer pictures would be helpful.

Populus? Or birch? I have a bunch of those exact seedlings in many of my trays.

After enlarging, I don't think it's populus.

Salix?

I have all three on my property. Populous being the most weedy, several different species are present. But also different kinds of Salix too. But Flo is usually dead on!
