When is a door not a door?

Based on the first 50% of your post, I would like to be your friend.

I have no opinion, positive or negative, on the second 50% - except that I support the dissemination of accurate information.

On typing this out, I’m suddenly concerned about this being offensive or blatantly false. I never applied critical thought to the story before, as I’m pretty sure I was told it as a relatively young, and more relevantly gullible, man.

Is it true that this mold played a role in the “witches ride broomsticks” stereotype?
