No you cannot eat mold!
Don't confuse the mold in aged cheese with the mold on old cheese
It's OK to eat mold on blue cheese, but eating moldy strawberries and nuts could make you sick.
Throw away luncheon meats, bacon, hot dogs, cooked leftover meat and poultry, cooked casseroles, cooked grains and pasta, and yogurt and sour cream that show any signs of mold, because foods with a high moisture content can be contaminated below the surface. Moldy foods may also have bacteria growing along with the mold.Discard soft cheeses such as cottage cheese, cream cheese, Chevre, Bel Paese, etc., and all types of crumbled, shredded and sliced cheeses. These foods with high moisture content can be contaminated below the surface. Shredded, sliced or crumbled cheese can be contaminated by the cutting instrument. Moldy soft cheese can also have bacteria growing along with the mold.
Get rid of jams and jellies with mold on them. The mold could be producing a Mycotoxin. Microbiologists recommend against scooping out the mold and using the remaining condiment.
Throw away soft fruits and vegetables with high moisture content such as cucumbers, peaches, tomatoes, etc. They can be contaminated below the surface.
Toss bread and baked goods because porous foods can be contaminated below the surface. Discard peanut butter, legumes and nuts because these foods are at high risk for molds that are unsafe to eat.
