What is the best way to kill fungus/mold on untreated wood?

I've been making a series of wood prints using large cut sections of a tree and I've been unable to kill a steadily increasing amount of green and white crud growing on either side of the sections.


Bleach hasn't worked, and the stuff even grows over the ink once it's dried.What is the best way to kill fungus/mold on untreated wood?
the nursery sells a anti fungial spray for decks and such, it works great!What is the best way to kill fungus/mold on untreated wood?
Try drying the wood before you use it. Overnight in an oven at low heat should do it.
mold has to have water to survive. It also has to have air. You might spray a sealer over it if it is cured wood, until ready to use it
Bleach deteriorates the structure of the wood. FYI. (makes it weaker)
terpintine
Sanding it may work,use light sanding paper this will take out any mold.
