Moldy cheese is considered a delicacy, but moldy bread is considered garbage. Why is it? Aren’t they both should be on the same level? Isn’t mold just a mold, no matter if it is in cheese or in bread?

Thinking that yeast molds are very different than cheese molds. Not sure if bread molds are edible, certainly not appealing visually. IMO
Molds On Food: Are They Dangerous?
Some mold on foods can be dangerous. Mold on that one piece of bread, doesn't mean the rst of the loaf is safe. The spores of mold love to travel.
Good article, most of it falls into the common sense category for me. Looks bad, smells bad, is bad. My mom always said "When in doubt, toss it out" This applies to cleaning closets/basements/attics too. If you haven't used, touched or looked at ________, in the past 6 months, out it goes.
During the days of the Salem Witch Hunt, the folks were charged with making strange utterances. It has been determined that the problem was the bread. Even if it became moldy, the mold was cut off and the rest of the loaf eaten. Unfortunately, the mold had worked its way into the loaf without physical evidence of its presence. This type of mold was similar to LSD. Thus the strange utterances.
Mom was interested in this VERY subject. she found that it was a spore that was on the grain itself. While the name eludes me at the moment. She did a field study and found the spore still in existance as recently as the late seventies. So it was not the bread, but the wheat itself. I will have to do a bit of memory {google} searching to refresh these weary brain cells.
