Mould!
 

We have a summerhouse cum potting shed built on to the end of one of our
greenhouses.
We've just come back from a long holiday (somewhere warm!) to find that the
walls and ceiling are covered in grey mould.
The timbers are rough cut and coated in normal wood preservative so they
aren't too good for wiping down.
What's the best way to get rid of it and then prevent it happening again?

I'd have thought that air circulation was the best thing to prevent it
happening again.

There's a similar thread on a boat newsgroup. I agree with you for
both cases.
