A type of fungus that can grow on cannabis plants and harvested flowers, especially in environments that are damp, humid, or have poor air circulation. Mold can appear during the cultivation, drying, or storage phases and can significantly reduce the quality and safety of cannabis. Common molds that affect cannabis include Botrytis cinerea (also known as bud rot) and a range of Aspergillus species. Moldy cannabis is unsafe to consume, as it can cause respiratory issues and other health problems.

Never consume cannabis with visible mold. It's not worth the respiratory risk.
