> Fruit mold is toxic but bread mold is safe.

Bread mold might not kill you, but _safe_ sounds like a stretch.

Bread mold is a crap shoot. Might kill you, might end up discovering an entirely new family of medicines. It's a your-own-risk we-disclaim-all-liability consenting-adults-only you-knew-the-risks-when-you-took-the-job thing.
The only mold that can kill is on dried nuts.

European cheeses have lot of mold (penicillium roqueforti, camemberti, etc.) that is perfectly safe to eat though
