No, justchip off as much as possible and sand the edhges,smooth. Make sure it is clean. Prime with oil based primer, lightly sand again, paint with oil based paint, 2 coats.
You will need to sand it down as smooth as possible. As far as the mold I know there are steps you need to take to fix it before you paint over it. I would consult a paint store
Vinegar will take care of the mold.

I think the best thing would be is..that the enquirer goes to a professional paint store and take a photograph of the offending mould on the timber.Better still - if you could take a small sample of the wood with the insitu mould. There are paints that are mould resistant. I would have to wonder where the mould is coming from, and that might be the first step, rather trying to paint over a problem. Fix the problem, if u can, and then paint. I recently had my bathroom ceiling painted with a mould resistant paint - smelled terrible, for a day or so. But it was worth the 'smell'. Best find out the source of the mould and where it is coming from. Best luck. Gabrielle
