Replace the foam. It is fairly inexpensive. You probably won’t be able to remove all of the mold since the foam is pourous, unless you soak the foam in bleach and water. Good luck.
No, don’t use the mold, but if you’d like to continue using the foam bedding, wash it down with a mixture of bleach and laundry detergent (be sure to use rubber gloves). If possible, let the mixture set on the beds before you start scrubbing it – all the mold should come off!
If the mold is down into the foam it is too late to save it. But if it is on a surface that is non pourious, then a warm water and bleach solution should work just fine
