Bad case of mold! (Dark) When is it time to throw it out?

I let the airlock dry out and I see islands of dark mold. I wouldn't share this with anyone, but would it be unhealthy for me to drink after racking off visible mold? Thanks!

Are you sure it's mold? Looks like dried out krausen to me, or possibly hop residue, but I can't really tell from the pics. How long has it been in primary?

The photos are way too blurry to confirm it's mold.


If you're sure it's mold....
Yes, you should dump it. Mold is allergenic and can produce toxins and carcinogens that would be present throughout the wine/beer/whatever.
