Seedling looks stunned. It's right now on more or less one week development level
Mycorrhizae with next water?

yeah 3 and a half week old plant should be much bigger, been stunt on start up, reasons could vary, unproper watering pratice are often the cause for young plant being stunt on start up

top soil layer looks rather dry on your photos, when was the last time you did water ?

yeah it looks from here like it's damping off slowly.
you can try to carefully repot it and dig it deeper (near first dry set) & treat it with water with helpful fungi if you want to give it one last chance but if you see changes in structure of stem already there's big chances it will damp of anyway
those triplets are saying a lot about level of stress on such a small seedling

I don't see damping off, don't try to repot it, that won't stop damping off anyway

unfortunately the way your watering is stunting it

you have to water the whole pot to encourage root growth

that's why most of us start them in much smaller pots or red cups, then up-pot when the roots develop

Learn to water before you start to feed it, search 'wet dry cycle' on this forum

If your grow medium has plenty of sand and pea gravel you get better drainage and watering is not so tricky.
Then you water more often ..
I mix 40% top soil sand and pea gravel to 60% FF strawberry fields.

i think you should water with larger amount of water less often, what's important is proper wet dry cycle, root do breath so they do not like permanently to wet soil.

i moist the whole soil till a little run off right after transplant in soil after germination, then i usually water every 6-9 days the first few weeks remoisting the whole soil surface and a little more around the trunk

I don’t see any damping off either. I’d say beachbum n herbal are spot on
