As I was moving the stacks around this weekend, we noticed the mold is only on the EWP sapwood. Thought that was interesting.

Thought that was interesting.And thats the only place youre going to find it. The fungus and mold are eating the sugars in the wood which are in the sapwood. Next time use dry stickers. It's never okay to use wet stickers. Second, next time you're stacking, put the boards with more sapwood, especially those with wane, on the outside of the stack. I noticed over the years that the fungus seems to start on any wane and spreads from there, almost like its already living on the bark (maybe @GeneWengert-WoodDoc can weigh in on that). Doing that cut down on my mold/fungus issues considerably. It also helps the stack to dry more evenly since the sapwood has a higher moisture content than the heartwood.
