Mold is a type of fungus that is found everywhere in nature. It changes the appearance, taste and texture of the food it grows on, causing it to decay.
Will eating a little MOLD hurt you?
You're probably not going to die from eating mold; you'll digest it like any other food, and as long as you've got a relatively healthy immune system, the most you'll experience is some nausea or vomiting due to the taste/idea of what you've just eaten.
