Why is it okay to eat blue cheese, but not other things that are moldy?
In: Biology
You know how there are different kinds of doggies? And some doggies are nice and let you pet them? The same is true for lots of other things, even mold! Blue cheese mold is like a nice doggie in our tummy – it tastes good to lots of people and doesnt make us sick. Other kinds of mold are like mean doggies though and can taste bad or make our tummys upset. Some mold even helps us feel better when we are sick! We should only try moldy things we already know are yummy or helpful though, just to be safe!

It does vary. I recall my late brother-in-law, during his lactovegetarian phase, going on about how to store rice in bulk and what colors of mold were safe (red, yellow) and unsafe (blue) to eat.
