I used to be the same way, following the same thought process. Just cutting off the visible mold and a small area around it. I stopped after I got food poisoning from a restaurant and had to eat hospital food for a week. Then I started up again immediately after getting back home to my moldy food. Still no repercussions, that I can tell
This past summer I hadn’t been to the cottage for over a month but I had some food left in the fridge. I brought home a can of opened berry jam I had there and I didn’t want it to go to waste. I ate from it three or four times before I noticed the large patch of mold that was growing on the lid and the underside of the top of the inside of the jar. I like saving food because I grew up poor but at the same time, I’m not going to send myself to the hospital to save a bit of jam … I threw the jar away after that.
I started up a compost to help cover my conscience about food waste. Worst case scenario, my food is reborn as tomatoes, kale, and herbs. Or as a raccoon because I forgot to secure the lid.
Penicillin is one of many types of bread mould.
I too will probably die from bread mould poisoning given my stingy habits with food waste. It’s fine if it’s only the white/blue type, right?

Just mix it with the bologna mold and let them fight to the death.
