Botrytis can actually cause illness. Botrytis cinerea mold on grapes may cause "winegrower's lung", a rare form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (a respiratory allergic reaction in predisposed individuals).That'sbotrytis. It's the same stuff that grows on grapes for wine making. It's black mold that's found in curing jars that is really bad for you, not this.
