 Green Mold on Cake didn't kill me

Ok, well I know its generally advisable to trash any jars/cakes with mold on them, but let me explain further.
I did my first ever grow using the pf-tek (brf). I nocced up 8 jars with Hawaiians. They all colonized perfectly. No contams.
Well I birth them to a shotgun fc. Everything looked great for the first week. I had a couple pins starting, no contams at all.
Well about day 9 or 10 I noticed some green spots starting to appear on the cakes. I was a bit dishearted, but I had read several posts from noted members of this community (RR namely) and he said that while green mold (trich I believe it to be) isnt good for you, that it wont kill you.
So I continued to let the shrooms grow. They pinned and grew nice and healthy. Several of the cakes and shrooms had patches of green on them, but I just ignored it.
Well after I harvested and dried, I had a dumb guy eat a few to make sure it wasnt poisonous. After he didnt die I decided them ok.
So I ate about 4 grams and had a great time.
Im not saying it was a smart move, but I just wanted to put this out here so that some people dont trash perfectly good cakes due to trich appearing after birthing the cakes.
*Note: if the trich had appeared in the jars I would have definitely tossed them into the yard.

Do you believe in Karma? What I really want to say, would be so inappropriate in this forum.

Woa damn. He was 100% informed of the facts regarding the fungi. I call him a dumb person because he agreed to eat them after knowing the risks.

There are no darn risks. The green molds common to mushroom cultivation are not harmful to humans. In fact, every onion, potato and radish you've ever eaten were grown in contact with trichoderma.
How the sound advice to "toss out contaminated substrates to protect your growroom" ever got turned into "toss out contaminated substrates to protect your health" ever got started I'll never know.
