    These things can go either way, hope it's a quick, cheap fix for you.

    What does it taste like?

    The stuff that SkullShank used to stick El on me like a papoose....

    oh, so it's sweet with a tangy bite.

    get a spray bottle that has a "mist" setting. add one part chlorine bleach to one part ammonia.
    mist the areas and let it sit.

    10/1 water and bleach. Mist the area next time you clean it and whipe off the exess that is on the boards. If it is a mold or fungus, it will kill or inhibit it.

    Its most likely wood decay fungus.
    And yes, the pH from dog urine probably helped.
