Please help - mold growing on bulbs,..

Please advise me if you can..in September I purchased 4 Starfire Lily bulbs (Scadoxus Multiflorus)at the Big Eastern States Exposition. I planned to store the bulbs until early spring before potting them up - and I have just left them in the plastic bag they sold them to me in - laying in the corner of an unused bedroom. I took them out today to transfer them to paper bags to store for the winter, and I noticed small areas of green mold growing on the bottoms of the bulbs. I should never have left them in that plastic bag! ARGGH! Please..does anyone know of anything I can put on them to kill the mold and save the bulbs or is it already too late? They don't appear to have rotted yet, and for now I have moved them to open air to dry. I REALLY appreciate any advice.

dust them with Flowers of Sulphur/Sulfer or what ever way you guys spell it. Like you would put flower onto pork or any other meat before frying put the Flowers into a largish bag,put your bulbs in and toss them around. Store you bulbs in damp - not wet - peat or something similar

Take a look here, you might find good info on your bulb. www.plantzafrica.com/plantqrs/scadoxkath.htm
