I had a mold problem down in my basement with a set of particle board shelves. Apparently the glue in particle board is a growth medium. It was nasty, because it was worse on the bottom of the shelves where I couln't see it. I tried sealing the shelves with urethane, and painting them, but it didn't work. I finally just moved that set of shelves to the attic, and replaced it with heavy-duty plastic shelving.
