I've tried Oxyclean. It didn't cut it.

Spray it with a stronger concentrate of Oxyclean and keep it wet for a
longer period, rubbing it with a cloth, then spraying it with the
Oxyclean. Bleach will "bleach" it white. I have used this to get rid
of mildew on the headliner and the canvas cover.

If it's black mold, it ain't going away period other than removing it
and then using a mold killer.

There is mold killer stuff that's sold at paint stores. If you don't
want to use bleach, try that. It doesn't take much bleach, try a very
dilute solution. Lysol will do it as well. You need to figure out
where the moisture is coming from that allows the mold to grow.
Probably lack of ventilation, or condensation if you're in a cold
climate. Vinegar should also do the trick, while not the best smelling
solution.

I would guess is it a leak around the rub rail due to the location of
the mold. If it is Black Mold per Tom's post, it has to be due to a
long period of dampness. Black Mold is toxic and needs to be handled
with care, weat a mask, ventilate the area with a fan, and after
cleaning the mold, wipe down the rest of the inside of the cabin.

Mold Killers:

1. Alcohols (ethanol, isopropanol):

Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal. Use a diluted concentration of 60
to 90%.
Advantages - nonstaining and nonirritating
Disadvantages - inactivated by organic matter, highly flammable

2. Quarternary Ammonium Compounds:

Bactericidal and Virucidal with limited effectiveness, Fungicidal. Use a
diluted concentration of 0.4 to 1.6%.
Advantages - inexpensive
Disadvantages - inactivated by organic matter, limited efficacy

3. Phenolics:

Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal. Use a diluted concentration of 0.4
to 0.5%.
Advantages - inexpensive, residual
Disadvantages - toxic, irritating, and corrosive

4. Iodophors:

Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal, Sporicidal and Tuberculocidal if
contact time is for a prolonged period of time. Use a concentration of
75 ppm.
Advantages - stable, residual action
Disadvantages - inactivated by organic matter, expensive

5. Glutaraldehydes:

Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal, Sporicidal (prolonged contact time
required), and Tuberculocidal. Use a diluted concentration of 2%.
Advantages - unaffected by organics, noncorrosive
Disadvantages - irritating/damaging vapors, highly toxic, expensive

6. Hypochlorites (Chlorox Bleach):

Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal, Sporicidal (prolonged contact time
required), and Tuberculocidal. Use a diluted concentartion of 1:10 .
Advantages - inexpensive
Disadvantages - bleaching agent, toxic, corrosive, inactivated by
organic matter; removes color from many interior fabrics; dissolves
protein fibers (i.e. wool, silk); has not shown to be effective against
stachybotrys spores.

7. Hydrogen Peroxide:

Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal, Sporicidal (prolonged contact time
required), and Tuberculocidal. Use a diluted concentration of 3% or greater.
Advantages - Relatively stable
Disadvantages - corrosive, expensive, degrades in heat or UV light

8 - Pizza.

Is that taken internally or just rubbed on the headliner?

Neither. You store the pizza behind the headliner.
