Even if it killed all bacteria ,,things that mold still has a bad taste
I washed green peanuts and didn't dry them properly and they had some mold on them
I re-washed and boiled them anyway
I ruined the whole batch ,they all had a mold taste

However ,,it was mold that lead to the discovery of penicillin

In 1928, Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming noticed a halo of inhibition of bacterial growth around a contaminant blue-green mold on a Staphylococcus plate culture. He concluded that the mold was releasing a substance that was inhibiting bacterial growth. ... Fleming applied penicillin to his Sinus infection.
