Mold isn’t poisonous. Just eat it, I never had health complications after eating moldy cheese.

Had a dumb coworker trying to tell me that cheese with a little mold on top was dangerous. She didn’t know the word “mycelium”, but that’s the explanation she was going for. Fair enough, I guess? Anyway, I’m carving the mold off and eating that cheese.

things don’t have to be acutely toxic to be dangerous, it can build up over time to hurt you

She was right?
The mold is on the inside of the cheese, the visible stuff on the surface is just the fruiting body used to spread spores.

Yep, how far the mold penetrates depends on the hardness of the cheese. Block of cheddar hard enough to play headbrick? Generally fine to just cut off a the outer layer. Anything soft, a good pizza mozzarella maybe? Garbage the whole block
