Dahlia problem

I stored my dahlia tubers in the shed in newspaper but he shed is damp and they have a white fur on - are they ruined?  Anything I should do?  Cheers

 Dust them off & sprinKle them with FLOWERS OF SULPHUR, they should be fine . I put mine in a cardboard box always seems to be ok. Good luck. ;D Andrew.

Try to keep them somewhere a bit dryer.  Dahlias tubers don't like damp.
