First year storing tubers and they actually all still look plump and firm which is very exciting, but they all have a bit of mold growth around the crowns, some fuzzy blue-grey and some powdery white. I did sanitize my shears in between each clump when dividing but the mold seems to be affecting all the tubers that were stored in plastic wrap.
I had noticed the mold growth at a mid-winter check in and wiped all my tubers down with white vinegar to try and stop the mold growth but there's still a little bit left. Should I try to treat them any further or just get them in soil to start sprouting like I originally planned? Or does the mold mean these are goners?
The one with the white mold looks like it already might be sprouting so I think they are ok?

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.
