50°C does not kill mold. It simply prevents vegetative growth. I set my kiln to run between 122°F and 128°F (50°C and 53.3°C), so that it avoids any mold growth. A 3 day average of °50C would mean that it is hovering in the range of vegetative mold growth half the time. What I'm saying is that it should be kept above 50°C.
I'm not a mycologist, and can't offer any greater detail about the issue. I suppose you could just sacrifice some leaf, and give it a try for a couple of months.
