Yes, normally the harmless strains of Penicillium roqueforti or something of the like.

We do use molds in food and pharmaceutical industry, not all of them are bad. Aspergillus oryzae, for example, is used to produce soy sauce, miso, and sake, and Aspergillus niger is a likely source of citric acid you have in your kitchen cabinet.

Natural pizza mold, however, contains nasty kinds of Penicillium, as well as Rhizopus stolonifer causing severe infections in respiratory system, mouth, nose, and face. Most cases can be treated in a hospital environment, but some are fatal, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

Yeah, but a specific type that we know doesn't kill us.

Can't say the same about that pizza.

SubArcticTundra is Czech though, and we use "s" for "with". It's a bit of a homonym but most people don't struggle with s/z prepositions, the s-/z- prefixes are more problematic: you'll see lots of people write "shlédnout" (look down) in place of "zhlédnout" (view, as in video or movie) even though "zhlédnutí" (views) is right there in YouTube's UI.

I see. I assume the confusion comes from the z being softened to a voiceless fricative depending on the surrounding sounds?

Correct, but the hardening of written "s" into a spoken "z" is about equally common. Then, some words have the "vz-" prefix, which some mix up with "s-" or "z-" too, and even "zvláštní" (means "strange" and has no prefix) gets misread as "vzláštní" extremely often.

Me too. I wonder if the hardening of "s" is something we got from the Germans, although we don't have that other substitution they do (cukr-Zucker).

If it's no more than 2 months old, I'll take it for research

Remember, the best way to heat up cold pizza is in a covered pan on low heat.
