Worried about the FUNGUS....!!!!

I will be putting the SD away for the winter soon. I picked up a 55 gallon drum to collect WVO in over the winter. I am filtering through a pillowcase which has worked great so far.

Should I be worried about algae, fungus growth or microbial growth inside the drum as I collect over the winter?

mix some Biobor and then you definately won't have to worry.
