I generally agree, but be careful with moldy food. Some mold species produce mycotoxins that can be quite dangerous (e.g. aflatoxin can induce liver cancer, some mycotoxins can't be degraded and build up in the liver). Simply removing the fungi is not enough, since the toxins diffuse into the food matrix (e.g in jam, yoghurt). An exception is mold on fruits and vegetables, there you can cut out the affected areas, the toxins can't diffuse across the cell walls.
