I tend to agree with trying other methods than bleach - do you have access
to a bar of plain lye soap? I once got charcoal from a wash puddle on my
wool petticoat with crewel work around the hem. I thought it was a goner but
I spot washed it with some home-made lye soap and it was out - mold
colourations are tough to remove, tho if you must use bleach try spot
cleaning vs soaking the whole garment - in other words, see if it will budge
the mold before you soak the whole thing as it can weaken the fibres.

Yes.
Maybe boil it on the stove. Or try color/ stain remover from a dye company
like Ritt or Tintex. Those you don't actually boil, but simmer on the
stove.
