There’s probably a wiki article, but it’s a mold that grows on black bread, not black mold on white bread. I don’t know about it killing people but it was the Middle Ages, who’d notice another death?
I don’t know if the illness thing is true, but bread is also porous. It’s probably spread throughout your bun or whatever already just by blowing around.
how come not bread?
Bread mold can cause serious illness, especially if you are subject to long-term exposure and inhaled spores from the mold.
The stalks of the mold may also be much deeper in the bread than the hotspots you might cut off.
The mold you see is just the surface of the mold. The mycelium has grown through the rest of the bread but it’s not as visible.
