Can i still make tea from black mold contaminated fruits/aborts/pins

So, I asked this on the end of my cultivation thread but I thought its be more appropriate to ask it here in the contamination thread instead.
Ok, so literally in the 8 hours I was at work my only good fruiting cake (which looked fine before work) turned fuckkkkking BLACK. I just don't get it.. The pin cluster was showing great growth over the last couple days and then this..
Anyway, I wiped away my tears as I cleaned off the cake and put the fruits in my drying chamber.
Now this might be a stupid question, but Assuming I properly dry these bitches, can I still make a tea out of them? At this rate I'm looking at a complete and utter failure and I'd hate to get nothing out of my investment, but I also realllllly don't wanna die lol.

might not be able to ID a mold like that without a microscope.. but some black molds are not toxic at all and others only when inhaled..
ive pulled from contaminated cakes without any issue in health.

Aspergillus niger produces toxins that are harmful to humans. If you get a black mold contam, it's always a must toss. The toxins are released into the hyphal network and can enter the fruit

A. niger seems to be one those that is toxic when inhaled. And rarely causes illness in humans..

Yes you're right on that. Illnesses from it is more common in the elderly, aids patients, and immunosuppressed.
