Now I wonder if I still need to tear up the floor since I do believe it was mold. I did buy pure oregano oil and a good steam cleaner. Oregano oil kills mold and keeps it from spreading. I'll attempt this before the laborious task of replacing the floor.
Thanks again.

IF putting the regulator on and no more issues have arisen, then it seems there was a leak while under higher pressure. I would look at fittings and see if you can determine where it was leaking. That fitting may be weakened and even tho you now are regulating the pressure, it may mean the fitting has been compromised. .. a water leak can cause so much damage, even after it's stopped. Until the wood is totally dried out, it will continue to degrade whatever it comes into contact with.
Good Luck.. glad it's not getting worse.
