Possibly tarnish from the metal. If it is mold a soapy wash cloth or sponge should remove it, and then dry with another wash cloth.

It's called patina and it's just what bronze does as it's oxidized. Like how all of the statues in a sculpture park always have it. A simple google search for removing patina from bronze statue should give you plenty of info.
