It's pretty rare, but better safe than sorry. Most people will advise you not to even open a contaminated container in you house.

From what Ive heard through watching Dirty Jobs and some other shows, the symptoms start out as flu like. If you've ever seen that guy without a face on TV, he inhaled some mold spores that were described as being along the same type as what you find from ordinary green mold that you would find in the house. He said it felt like he was getting a bad cold. That progressed into hime having sores on his skin around his face that felt like acne. Long story short, his whole sinus cavity got infected and had to be cut out. Hope this helps.

Of course, don't ever inhale spores of anything, including mushroom spores. Some of the most dangerous molds are growing right in a damp house or basement. They'll be black in color.
If you eat a rotten mushroom, the symptoms will be similar to food poisoning, because that's what it is. It's caused from bacteria from the rotting mushroom. If there's a bit of green mold on a cake, but a fruit is ready to harvest, you can safely eat the fruit. The mold will not contaminate the fruit itself unless it's actually growing on it. RR
