Mould on hyacinths

Been trying to force some for Christmas, 3 out 4 have sprouted but don't think they'll flower in time. Anyway, had them covered and in the shed, went to check them today and noticed small amounts of green mould on them. What to do? Should I bring them indoors now where it's very slightly warmer? Thanks.

    If it's just a spot of mould on damp outer bukb tissue, don't worry.  

    I wouldn;t bring them in until the flower bud id well up.  You would risk forcing the leaves ahead of the flower.
