Sorry Paul, I didnt realise that it was your actual floor. Thought it was an overlay of chip board.
I would seal it with a bathroom paint that has a fungicide in it. Initially I would spray with bleach, let it dry maybe with some assistance with airflow/heating and then apply the paint with fungicide in it.

That's good news. It would suggest your underfloor space is either cooler and/or drier than inside. Might be worth thinking about changing ventilation or perhaps double skinning the roof to drop the temperature? With any luck you'll be able to treat the fungi and seal the floor and that'll be that, but if you get recurring fungi problems, it might be worth a thought.
