Mold is a term used to describe a type of fungus that is an often fuzzy-looking growth that appears on the surface of organic materials in damp conditions, both outdoors and indoors. Molds may be gray, black, green, yellow, orange or various other colors, and may have a velvety or wooly texture.
The white brie rind is mold formed from penicillium candidum or penicillium camemberti. The mold is harmless unless you are very allergic to mold. A brie's rind should feel firm and silky, not hard and crusty. It has an earthy taste and can be eaten alone or mixed on the bread with the cheese.
