She was right?

The mold is on the inside of the cheese, the visible stuff on the surface is just the fruiting body used to spread spores.

Yep, how far the mold penetrates depends on the hardness of the cheese. Block of cheddar hard enough to play headbrick? Generally fine to just cut off a the outer layer. Anything soft, a good pizza mozzarella maybe? Garbage the whole block
