I was raised by an organic gardener... I try to avoid fungicides and
things,
but will use them if necessary. These roots were all nice and firm and
green
and white after the removal of totally dead ones, so I hope this won't
cause
me a problem.

You have other options. For example, you can try sprinkling cinnamon on the
roots after trimming them. Also, sphagnum has some antifungal properties,
so if you can get it, you could use it as the primary potting medium.
