They’re not necessarily good for you, they are simply edible.
Some molds produce harmful substances, or things our body generally consideres to be very bad for us, others do not.
Also remember that many fruits out there are also toxic or not edible. There are quite a few berries which are toxic to humans. Not all chestnut species are edible. Some roots are toxic, heck, yew trees are completely toxic, the only edible component of the plant is the flesh of their fruits.
