Bleach? But that would then lighten the canvas and damage it.

TBH, once a canvas tent has a bad case of mould you have two choices...clean off the mould, treat it so it won't return, reproof the canvas and live with the marks. Or get a new canvas. There's nothing that will bring it back up to good as new. Hard lesson to learn, sorry, but that's what happens when you (or your friend) doesn't look after a tent properly.

As said nothing will remove it.  Treat & re proof putting up with the mark & the chance it can come back, or replace the canvas.
