Germinating mango seed question

[buddyguygreen]

I had a delicious mango my friend brought me and im unsure of the variety but im trying to germinate the seed. It sprouted a root but i checked on it today and half the root was brown, am i under watering it or over watering it? i water when the soil dries out. Do you think it will still sprout?

I throw mango seeds in my yard all the time and they seem to be growing everywhere but when i try to sprout one i find it more difficult.

Do you have a picture? I also let my soil dry out before watering again.
