Redoing furniture and requesting mold mitigation input.

Hi all, My partner and I decided to change some built-ins in our basement and as we removed the base under the shelves, we found that the floor wasn't tiled, or they were removed by previous homeowners when they installed the shelving and the base. The home has signs of basement flooding in the past, and flood mitigation (foundation drain channel). I am wondering if the black residue here is mold or some sort of glue/treatment. I don't want to take the easy way out of just covering it up and pretending it doesn't exist! Any help or guidance would be appreciated! Here are a couple of pictures. https://imgur.com/a/tVoIyep TIA submitted by /u/b_sane [link] [comments]
