    In the meantime you need to use bleach to clean it off and leave the windows open while you do it. Not a nice job, it happened in our conservatory but it's all clean and nice now.
    It's due to a lack of circulation and condensation, try and open the windows for an hour a day to keep it fresh.

    Just a thought, check your guttering too, if it's leaking the walls outside will get really wet and the water will leech through causing a problem like this.
