Used to know a guy who didn't give a shit about mold as long as the moldy spot wasn't larger than a cm or 2 in diameter. Too much effort to cut out the spot and too much of a waste to throw the food out completely. His immune system must be tougher to crack than fort knox

True, but largely irrelevant, because it's not usually harmful
>>16297633
>Had anyone ever gotten sick from mold in their food?
Obviously, people have gotten sick from molds, but the vast majority of cases are from allergic reactions. Bread can also be contaminated with a few seriously dangerous molds, but it's extremely rare, as bread isn't a good growth environment for the dangerous ones (they prefer firm fruit like apples and hard pears). If you don't see black patchy molds on your bread, it's almost certainly not harmful, though it may taste unpleasant. Eating bread molds (if you are not allergic) is unlikely to have any effect on your health whatsoever. On the other hand, who can't afford 25c of bread?

Oh, I missed this one. Ergot contamination is almost always contamination of the grain, and this flour, not the bread. Fresh-baked loaves are just as dangerous, in terms of ergot poisoning, as moldy loaves and, indeed, may be more dangerous, sine ergoline compounds do slowly break down over time.

Have eaten more moldy food than I care to admit in college (cut off the moldy part). Never got sick.
One time got food poisoning from drinking tea that had sat in a hot car for 6 hours, it had milk in it.
That sucked, especially the abdominal pain

tl;dr yes the food is full of fungus, but you won't notice unless it's really rotten, and it should be safe if you cut out visible mold.

Basically by the time visible mold is present on a piece of food, the entire thing is likely full of mycelia, which are basically the roots of a fungus. Technically, the mycelia are the main organism, and the visible mold is just what it does to reproduce.

Mycelia make food bad to eat in several ways. First, they digest what is around them, turning it into a nasty sludge - rotting. This process is likely happening within the first day or two after harvest/production, but since it takes a while for a few cells to multiply enough become noticeable, the effect is negligible. By the time mold is visible, the mycelia are pervasive inside the food item, although parts further away from the moldy patch have fewer mycelia and thus unnoticeable amounts of the bad rotting slush.

The mycelia itself is typically not harmful. That part of the fungus is not vulnerable, so even most toxin-producing species (which are rare in bread and plant molds) usually only have toxins in the visible mold patch. Toxins cost energy to produce, and fungi that produce enough of them to harm humans must spend a lot of energy on that production, and thus grow very slowly. They will only be present in thoroughly rotten parts. Also, of course, the rotted parts are disgusting. A thoroughly rotted piece of food likely has bacterial growth too, which is more dangerous.
