How to treat mold on drywall

I pulled baseboard in my basement’s drywall to fix a mold issue from a recent basement flood and found the mold spots behind the baseboard about 16 feet away from where I was looking to repair. These look like they came from a leak from when the prior owner lived here based on some damaged ceiling tile right above this moldy area. Considering it’s not from an active leak, what’s the best way to resolve this? Kilz? Remove and patch? Ignore and nail the baseboard again? submitted by /u/BrianSez [link] [comments]
