I just read somewhere that cutting mold off of bread doesn't necessarily make it safe to eat. The mold can have tendrils (my word; I don't remember what the article called them ) that reach out into the texture of the bread, beyond the surface greenish-whitish stuff. Does the same go for cheese? Since the texture of cheese is so much more dense, I figured whatever looked uniformly white or yellow after the mold was cut away should be OK to eat. Is that just dumb?
