Sounds like mold but pictures will help others to give a diagnosis.

If it is mold, just spray with Chlorox and wipe off.

 

I don't know, Gremlins?

Spray, wipe off. It is not just on the surface but into the wood. Should I spray all the wood or just where the mold is??

Many Thanks JIm

 

If this is mold, it is mostly on the surface, it does not go deep into the wood since the mold needs moisture and air. Deep in the wood there is only moisture.

Spraying beyond the mold is a good way to prevent the mold spreading.

Mold needs high moisture and no or low light.

Most bacteria, including mold are killed by bleach. Hence the Chlorox spray will easily kill the mold. Wiping off after a few seconds is mostly to remove the moisture.
