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!

    Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans

    Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.

    Both are pictures of genitalia, one of them is just really really small, microscopic even, so you are being very insensitive towards the microscopic genitalia.

    This bacterium gives me the sniffles. This other bacterium liquefies and eats my muscles. But if I don't have enough of this other bacterium in me, I get violent explosive shits??

    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.

    Srsly? It's pretty simple - some forms of mold are delicious and others aren't.

    Here's another mystery to ponder: Why do people generally love having sex but hate doing housework that involves the same amount of effort? Have fun.
