By the way. Please don't just "cut the mold off" of things like jam, bread and cheese.

I have spent some time learning the ways of fungi and when you can see the mold? That means the entire mass is full of mycelium (basically thread
-like "mushroom roots") the fruiting or the fuzzy part means that the fungi has consumed all the nutrients and is ready to move on.

The whole thing is shot, please don't eat it OK? Some fungi create poisons as by products. And it won't taste right.
