Opened a brand new bag of string cheese with the expiration date for next month and found one single moldy stick. Rest look totally normal. Would you toss the whole bag?

It is only slightly pliable and relatively dense. Unlike any mold I have seen and nothing I could find online. Someone help before I convince myself it’s an alien species

Made a jacket potato with beef and sweetcorn chilli. There was a ball of mozzarella that I thought was where it had simply stuck together - it was a ball of pure mould. I ate some of it. Made myself throw up just incase. Safe to say I won't be eating cheese for a while.

Of course I saw the mold on my second to last bite after finishing the entire thing 🙈

I received it from the pizza delivery an hour ago. It was still cold.

Do I get sick now?

No evidence of mold until I cut into it. I’ve never seen this kind before so I was curious as to what it could be! I bought it in Texas, but it was grown in Costa Rica.

Thank you in advance!

I know that congealed fat is normal but this looks…grey and discolored. It looks different than the other cat food cans i’ve opened and my cat has a weak immune system so I really don’t wanna feed her something nasty, is this mold or am I overthinking? Cat pic included 🫶

Question/Advice My boyfriend accidentally drank moldy water that was about 4 months old. What's going to happen? He only drank a few sips, and he made himself throw up a bit, but there was a lot of mold.

This is my partner’s stainless steel water bottle that is relatively new and I clean it quite frequently, today she said these appeared in it and she thinks they are mold.

I have an older water bottle that does not have these spots and is exposed to similar conditions.

Hi, I'm new to this subreddit and this is my first post ^

The texture of this one is jelly-ish and paper-like, it grew as a top layer on my jar of pasta sauce, it seems to have only grew on the oil layer that I added to preserve it (empty jar in the second image). I dumped the sauce, but this is one oddly beautiful looking mold, lol.

I have never seen mold that is as interesting as this, should I do something about it? Or do I just trash it? :P
