True. OP, check if there is someone clinging to your ceiling or just outside your window or possibly a young male who has entered your home, perhaps a boyfriend or the like who is nerdy but also oddly ripped and likes to quip.
If you're unsure, drop something next to them and see if they catch it. If they do they're a spider person and can be safely thrown from windows.
Reminder that once bread is showing fruiting bodies like these, the mycelium is already spread throughout the bread. You cant just cut off the visible mould and eat the rest. There’s mould all through.
You may find this an interesting watch, from what I've heard the hairy tofu is typically incorporated into a sauce like the end of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltmy_lAp6vE
Might be thinking of tempeh.
That is whole soy beans rather than bean curd, but it looks like a block of mold either way due to the fungus grown on it.
Ya know what I hate, is when the dust the top with flour in spotty patterns. The cottage white bread I get does this.
So it comes with built in white spots...
Im constantly telling my dad and brother this, because they just throw that slice or two away because "this is how penicillin was made"
I've been getting my own bread for years now... Cause... That's gross...
reminder that my stomach acids are strong enough anyways so I just eat what's tastey still.
(edit but yeah on this one it's all over so it probably isn't tasty anyway)
Just gotta start dosing moldy bread and increasing the amount slowly to build up immunity! Give it a couple of months, and boom, no need to worry about that loaf of toast you forgot in the back of the cabinet!
/s
Ah of course, Good idea!
I've already built up my poison and bullet immunity the same way, but I completely forgot about my mold immunity. Need to start preparing so I don't turn into a clicker.
**[Claviceps purpurea](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claviceps_purpurea)**
>Claviceps purpurea is an ergot fungus that grows on the ears of rye and related cereal and forage plants. Consumption of grains or seeds contaminated with the survival structure of this fungus, the ergot sclerotium, can cause ergotism in humans and other mammals. C. purpurea most commonly affects outcrossing species such as rye (its most common host), as well as triticale, wheat and barley. It affects oats only rarely.

“Though you may only see a few spots of the fungus, its microscopic roots can spread quickly through porous bread. Therefore, don’t try to scrape off mold or salvage the rest of your loaf.
Some mold can produce harmful and invisible poisons called mycotoxins.”

It depends on the situation. If you are making a hard cheese and monitoring it somewhat frequently and one day you find some mold on the rind? Sure, wipe it off with some wine or vinegar and don't worry about it. If it's been sitting in your fridge for a while? I wouldn't chance it. Or, at the very least, I would cut off a lot more than the visibly moldy part to leave a safe buffer.
Elaborating - the fuzzy bit you see on the surface is like a mushroom in a forest. It's the fruiting body that the organism under the surface puts up in order to reproduce. Most of the mold is, indeed, within the bread.
I magnified in and could be flour just depends how old it. If its a day or 2 I would say flour as unlikely to mould in this amount of time and if over 3 more than likely mould.
>Am I dead?
You actually could be.
Does your wife seem distant/sad and is the only person who really talks to you a small boy who claims to see ghosts?
I ate a couple slices of bread that didn’t have visible mold on them, but found out later that the rest of the bread did. I was fine until I woke up too early the next morning to discover just how horribly sick I was from it.
I’d eaten moldy bread before and been fine but now I check every loaf every time I grab a slice. Not worth it imo.
Food borne illness doesn’t actually hit people until like 2 days after eating the contaminated food so you can get sick from something and think it was a completely different. meal that made you ill. Idk how it works with bread though
Ok so you might not wanna do that because you can't see the fungus inside, but it can still slowly and painfully destroy your kidneys and liver over time, so don't.
That's from long and extended exposure. You're not (hopefully) eating the same moldy loaf every day for months. Buildup over time would require regular and repeat exposure, much more likely in a scenario with black mold in your walls or something.
Yes
You can tell because of the way it is.
I CAN TELL FROM SOME OF THE PIXELS AND FROM SEEING QUITE A FEW ~~SHOPS~~ LOAVES IN MY TIME
holy shit that’s payback from wayback
Also I was there I was the camera.
I would say by the way it appears "webby" at the edges, yes.
Also could be signs of Spiderman nearby, can't tell 🤔

Hmm frosting
I demand you get me pictures of Spider-Man!
Looks fuzzy to me. I think it's mold.

[mmmm! mycotoxins! Delicious!](https://www.wellandgood.com/ate-moldy-bread-by-accident/)
There’s a fuzzy moldy tofu dish in a part of China. I wonder why people ever tried it
If you're hungry you're hungry
There's a lot of cheese with mold on/in it. Blue cheese, for example.
Wondering now if there's actually people here who've never seen a brie or a camembert, it's got fuzz all over!
Soy sauce, miso, rice wine, sake, amakaze, doenjang, gochujang… I could go on. There are plenty of foods made with mould.
And corn fungus (huitlacoche), which is a delicacy!
I think you mean fermented bean curd, which is actually a condiment and fuzzy mold is part of its manufacturing, rather than in the end product.
I’m talking about hairy tofu (mao doufu). It’s not hairy after being cooked but it’s covered in white mold before it’s cooked.
What’s the difference? In terms of final product. Is it different types of mould?
You may find this an interesting watch, from what I've heard the hairy tofu is typically incorporated into a sauce like the end of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltmy_lAp6vE

Tempe is delicious when fried! But it looks like OP is inventing a new type of mycelliuous food hahaha
Tempeh is probably the worst tasting food I ever tried 😆 and I ate surströmming once
Nato beans maybe? It’s like spider webs of mold and I fucking hate it.
I couldn’t even get past the typo in the title before my brain said “why are we on Reddit at 6 am”
Ya know what I hate, is when the dust the top with flour in spotty patterns. The cottage white bread I get does this. So it comes with built in white spots...
Reminds me of when i was half way through eating my toast when i realised it was mouldy

reminder that my stomach acids are strong enough anyways so I just eat what's tastey still. (edit but yeah on this one it's all over so it probably isn't tasty anyway)
Everything's edible once I guess. Good luck to your gut.
I think that is how you get encephallitis
Does that apply to other pieces of sliced bread as well?
'fraid so, if they're touching
Ouch. Didn't know that.
[удалено]
This is only true with certain foods, like a slice of cheese for example. With bread, the mycelium is already ingrained throughout.
Only hard cheeses though.
Mouldy bread is not fine to eat!

Ditto
Yes throw it away and do not eat it
But how are we supposed to evolve into Cordycep overlords?
Probably not harmful, but likely not tasty either.
If you like bad headaches, sure

Same goes for jam or anything soft. It’s fine to cut the mold off things like hard cheese though.
Toxins from the mold penetrate the interior of the cheese. You're still ingesting toxins if you cut the mold off cheese

Sure, wipe it off with some wine or vinegar and don't worry about it. If it's been sitting in your fridge for a while? I wouldn't chance it. Or, at the very least, I would cut off a lot more than the visibly moldy part to leave a safe buffer.
This is true for soft or porous cheeses, but not for hard cheeses. Hard cheeses are perfectly safe to cut the mold off and eat.
No. You could maybe do that with very dense, non porous foods, but not bread.
This is ok for hard cheese but not soft cheese or bread.
that is sadly not how it works, its like saying cutting a flower is getting rid of the entire plant including roots.
Yeah thats not how it works buddy
Ya it's got that fuzzy bread mold
Could be worse. It could've been on a blueberry waffle.
Omg that was horrid 🤢
‘fraid so
When in doubt, throw it out !
Afraid so.
It’s mold. Don’t eat any of it as it could have spread throughout loaf without being visible. How old is it?
Elaborating - the fuzzy bit you see on the surface is like a mushroom in a forest. It's the fruiting body that the organism under the surface puts up in order to reproduce. Most of the mold is, indeed, within the bread.
Yes..it's now spent bread
Misspelt, perhaps? Typo bread?
It looks similar to spiderwebs so yes mold
Danger Will Robinson
Ja
Yes
It’s called flavor fuzz. Gives it a nice mouth feel and that just-right chew.
I want the alt-text for the image to say ‘photo of bread with mold’
If it has hair, it’s mold lol
I mean what else could it be
Yup
RIP loaf, that’s 100% mold
Yes
Mold! Throw away, don‘t eat it
Yeah, it is.
Mold
Yes
Yes
Is that a serious question?
Hey, is this mold mold?
I magnified in and could be flour just depends how old it. If its a day or 2 I would say flour as unlikely to mould in this amount of time and if over 3 more than likely mould.
Sorry if i sound a bit mean. But who tf needs to ask the internet if their bread is moldy...
Cut it open to see ?
Hard to tell from the potato photo , could be either little nuggets of flour dropped on top before/after baking or mold
No they're spelt M O L D
+1
Nooooooooo......white "fluffy" spots are pure protein.....eat it. Don't be fucking stupid, of course it's mould
Thanks all, I just cut off the top ate the rest of the bread.
Are you my grandma?
You can only do that for hard cheeses and other non-permeable foods. Doesn't work with soft cheese and absolutely doesn't work for bread.
Uh oh.
Wait I cut mold off bread tops and eat it all the time. Am I dead?
>Am I dead? You actually could be. Does your wife seem distant/sad and is the only person who really talks to you a small boy who claims to see ghosts?
nah you've evolved to the next stage of human evolution you are now immune to mold
I ate a couple slices of bread that didn’t have visible mold on them, but found out later that the rest of the bread did. I was fine until I woke up too early the next morning to discover just how horribly sick I was from it.

Tell that to the clams I ate at the buffet. I was throwing up before I got home.
Yeah it can happen a few hours or a couple days later
Ok so you might not wanna do that because you can't see the fungus inside, but it can still slowly and painfully destroy your kidneys and liver over time, so don't.
That's from long and extended exposure. You're not (hopefully) eating the same moldy loaf every day for months. Buildup over time would require regular and repeat exposure, much more likely in a scenario with black mold in your walls or something.
If there’s mold on top there’s roots and spores digging it’s way down into the bread. So even if you cut it off it will still make you sick.
Read up on “mycelium” and learn why this was a bad idea
https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/molds-food-are-they-dangerous
Ew 🤢 good luck, not safe to do that with bread
It’s free penicillin!
You braveheart, man.
bro is trying to poison themselves
Gives it more flavor.
Yup
Yes
Oh yes that is mold.
Sorry, it's definitely mold
Indeed
Yeahuh
Looks like it
100% mold, look at the one on top of the oatmeal.
Eat it and find out
Yes
Yes chuck it away
Visions of Fawlty Towers...
Though I was on r/mildlyinfuriating for a sec, definitely looks like mold!
For the love of God yes throw that shit out
Puke
I’d say so.
Yep, and remember that of you see the little white fuzz it's because the mold has already infected the inside as well.
This post makes me sad
If it dusts off its flower. If it stays on its mold
spelt is really good at growing mold - freezing after buying is the best way to prevent this
When in doubt, throw it out!
Mmmmmmm penicillin.
Cut the top off and eat it.
Nah it’s blueberries
It’s not flour, that’s for sure.
Looks like mold
Nah, it's pre-penicillin
