Ruth,

I would recommend Tim-Bore for mold and fungus in areas where rewetting
isn't likely, otherwise Bora-Care works well but is a lot more costly. They
are both Borate based products that are safe around animals but really do a
number on molds and fungi.

Ken,

Have you tried copper sulfate for the moss?

Ruth,
> I told him the simplist solution was just use the "housewife's friend,"
good ole Clorox and water and spray it.  He rather poo-pooed the idea, then
at the end he said, "the simplest thing to do is just spray with an
anti-microbial, like Clorox,"  like it was his original idea!!!  I'm used to
my husband doing that to me, but not everyone else!!!
lol, possibly the mycologist needs to be water boarded w/ clorox?

I recently applied a water-clorox solution to the marine moss on our 
garage roof (with trepidation that the wetland police would come after 
me), but motivated as the house insurance folks did not like my moss 
colony that I was cultivating. It does not help my observations that we 
keep going through freeze-thaw cycles... or that I tend to find myself 
up on the garage roof during ice storms scraping the moss clumps away. I 
am thinking though to go fully-adhered EPDM in the spring.
