Subject: [NAFEX] Can I freeze chestnuts to plant for next year

I have about 10 lbs of chestnuts stratified in my fridge & they are
getting a mold that has lots of red color in it. I even washed them
off once & put them back in bags with peat but the mold which is
extremely sticky to the touch is coming back again. Does anyone know
if I can freeze these & get similar germination rates of +90%? In the
five or so years I've been collecting nuts from my trees I've never
seen mold on the nuts before. Or maybe mold wouldn't be an issue...
