Nope. You can get pretty sick if you eat it.
In the Middle Ages, there were outbreaks of ergotism because people ate moldy rye bread...if the disease didn't kill a person, it could cost them a hand, a foot, a leg...
I remember seeing triptychs in art history class that folded up so that Christ's hands were cut off... it was supposed to comfort the monks who lost hands to the disease.
As for the note about mold being penicillin - that is only a single type of mold. Not all mold is penicillin, just like not all dogs are poodles. So, yes, some molds won't hurt you, but unless you're a mold expert, don't risk it.

I've eaten moldy bread before and never had a problem. (These are the kinds of things you do when you are a broke college student with no meal plan). Try toasting it and put some butter or something on it to help with the taste. It shouldn't be too bad.

No, not even if you cut off the moldy part. Once there is enough mold on the bread to see it, it is actually already all through the bread. Throw it away.

No. Although penicillin is in the mold, it is taken out, so you don't want to eat it. It will not benefit your health at all. Actually eating moldy bread could probably get you pretty sick.

Yes, I've done it often with no ill effects. Throw out the moldy piece of bread and keep the rest of the bread in the fridge or freezer to retard further mold from forming.

You can cut off the mold and eat the rest of the bread.

Go out and buy a loaf of bread. Less than $l.00. Take care of yourself because no one else will.
