If it's black, it could be very dangerous. Some of the white types aren't so bad. You have, however, two things to consider: there can be tiny 'roots' extending further, on a microscopic level, than the naked eye can see, and, people over the age of 60 have declining immune systems. Foods that a 20 year old can eat and maybe just have minor indigestion can cause a seriously debilitating bout of illness in a senior -and in a child under the age of 6, pregnant women, people undergoing chemotherapy, people sick with something else, people with organ transplants taking immuno-supressing drugs, and anyone with a compromised immune system. If it's just you, and you like taking risks, that's up to you. But think long and hard about who else you're serving it to.
