    99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.

      98.99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death, 1% tastes good with butter. The the remaining 0.01% is estimated to have saved over half a billion lives.

      Ah, so there are 3 options- discomfort, death, and nutrition. Therefore, every time you eat a fungus, you have a 1/3 chance of dying. Thanks for the info!

    The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.

    So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.

      On typing this out, I’m suddenly concerned about this being offensive or blatantly false. I never applied critical thought to the story before, as I’m pretty sure I was told it as a relatively young, and more relevantly gullible, young man.

      Is it true that this mold played a role in the “witches ride broomsticks” stereotype?

      • faythofdragons@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It sounds like a few different things got mashed together there. Ergot is a hallucinogenic fungus that grows on rye, and is speculated to be the cause of some of the witch panics. It’s not the same fungus found in Roquefort, but it is what they use to make LSD.

        Witches flying is hypothesized to be entheogen use, since a common side effect is feelings of floating, flying, or otherwise ‘being high’.

        The fungus you’re thinking of is likely ergot, because it shows up in pretty large volume in batches of rye.

        In processing, it ends up as a dark purple/black dried up mass that assumes kinda a crescent shape. Mills will run a batch of rye through a color-sorter - a bunch of times consecutively - to reduce the amount of ergot in the batch before milling.

        You can technically refine it into LSD, but if you screw up, you can kill people. (Morning Glories are the preferred method).

        The number of 55-gallon drums of ergot I’ve disposed of, though… It’s difficult not to identify with Walter White and wonder… “what if?”

      Depends on the species of mold, but enough of them are toxic that the general advice is to avoid them all

      source
    • Umbrias@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Bread mold is not one universal thing, while certain molds may be more common, without doing involved identification you will not be able to determine the species and therefore safety of bread mold. Even if the majority of the time it is a safe species, you should not be knowingly risking it.
