Mouldy Plums
No my bollocks are just fine thanks...
But i do have a few plums that are mouldy which i was eating away until i realised i was eating them mouldy. Now they are perfectly ripe and very very juicy, and i don't want to throw them away so.... Can i just wash the mould off and eat? After doing a little reading around the interweb suggest the visible mould is only a fraction of what could be in/on the fruit? How ill can you really get from eating mould? They're too nice to just throw away so i'm just weighing up pros and cons. |

You could always cut away the top layer of the affected area, it might be fine after that. As for how ill, diarrhoea and a sore stomach would be the most likely results I'd guess.

Hmmmm i washed and eat the ones with a small film of mould and gave the remaining few at the bottom a wide birth they flet really juicy but were half covered in mould. It wasn't really something you could cut of on any of them, just a film of greeny mould. I didn't even notice it with my first three...
I'll report back tomorrow if i feel like utter carp... |

That all depends upon what different fungi are present in the mould really
You do know that "athletes foot" grows as a mould don't you? Have a read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mold#Health_effects
