If you have sitting water then you most definitely got mold. But if its like you described treat the mold replace insulation then vapor barrier on the joists and tape over seams. Its not a huge house so that all can be done in a weekend if you know what you're doing. But it really easy just a pain in the ass.

I want to install infloor heating so i was gonna insulate and vapor seal the main floor joists then. The walls and floor are a mix of concrete, bedrock, and cinderblocks. I'd have to install joists and insulate to vapor barrier it effectively. One of the trenches also cut diagonally to a drain line halfway along the crawlspace. I think the house started with about 1/3 of the the footprint crawlspace then was expanded later but I'm not really sure.
