Some are some aren't.

Black mold that grows on wood (e.g. inside water damaged walls) is very toxic.

Blue penicillium mold is helpful (e.g. blue cheese and penicillin antibiotics).

It all depends on the species of mold.

Yes. Very yes. Fungal infections suck, don't eat or inhale spores from any moldy food. Also, try not allowing food to get moldy.

What is red mold and is it harmful?

I did an experiment, i am still working on it, but I started an experiment testing which kind of bread would start to process mold faster, white bread with no water on it, or white bread with a lot of water on it. What I did was I took 2 pieces of bread, put 1 in a bag, and put a tablespoon of water on the other, then put that one in another bag. On the 10th day, the bread with water on it grew normal, green mold, after the 13th day, I realized that there were a type of red mold on the bread. Red mold is a type of any mold, and given a different color, like, blue mold, green mold, or brown mold, exept, only created by adding alot of water to a kind of food that obsorbs it, in about 10-15 days, you find red mold. Red mold is not harmful, unless you eat it. Red mold could rub on your skin, and still not be infected, unless you were to rub the mold on a cut. When red mold is eaten with out being processed into something like cheese, the red mold will survive the stomach acid, and will cause pain in your bladder. The red mold will get caught in your bladder and will require surgery to get it out. Think of it this way, cheese is a form of mold, if you like to eat cheese, it is like you are saying you like to eat mold.
