A LITTLE CLOROX BLEACH WILL KILL MOLD AND LIGHTEN THE STAINED AREA. NOT HAVING THE ITEM IN HAND I CAN'T TELL IF IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO DO OR NOT. PERHAPS A BIT OF CLOROX ON A Q-TIP APPLIED TO THE BACK IN A SMALL SPOT TO SEE WHAT THE EFFECT IS ON THE LEATHER.IF THE AREA IS SMALL AND NOT TOO OBVIOUS PERHAPS YOU CAN GIVE IT A TRY.
YOU CAN TEST THE RECOMENDED OIL ON A SMALL SPOT ON THE BACK TOO AND IF ALL WORKS OUT USE IT AFTER THE BLEACH DRYS TO RESTORE OIL AND PRESERVE THE AREA.

Chiming in after a long absence, rubbing alcohol will kill the mold and evaporate.
