Pick the mold off!.
Ironically enough, it's possibly an antibiotic! But best to be safe!.

Only a couple of generations ago it was commonplace, even in the household (let alone at sea) to eat meat, milk and other food which was slightly off, moldy, or generally past its "best before" date!.

Well, technically it's inedible as there'll be a lot more mould spores on the bread that you can't see yet!. In saying that though I have been known to lop off the mouldy bit and am still around!. Maybe lop of the bits you can see and then chuck it in a sandwich toaster or under the griller!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should never eat any type of mold because basically you don't know what type it is!. And when you pick it off or say slice mold off of cheese the tendrils of it go deep into the food!.
Plus it tastes nasty!.
If you were thinking well it is just penicillin you may in fact have a type that will may you sick!.
