Unfortunately, once the tubers have become moldy, there’s no way to get rid of it. There are tips for preventing the mold from forming in the first place, but that advice is only helpful for future tubers. Continue with what you are doing however; maybe the tubers will recover. Try planting a couple of them and see what happens. Gardening is an experiment, after all. For future prevention of the white mold, dry out the tubers before storing them: Moisture is the enemy. Store them in a cardboard box filled with peat moss, keeping the temperature between 40 and 50°F. Check the tubers once a month to make sure they are not shriveled. If they are, spray a little water on them, but not too much. We hope this helps!
