I disagree, you don't have too throw it away, if it was real bad you may get a 'Taste' of mold, it won't hurt you and if you caught it fast enough, may not even taste like it. One other thing you can do if you notice it again is too freeze it, couple days and the mold will be dead, dry it one more time until its dry enough to smoke and then start the curing process again.

If you're worried about mold problems in the future, make sure the humidity in your drying space is no higher than 50%. 45-50% is ideal for keeping the buds from molding and just high enough to discourage any powder mildew from forming too. That proper balance of humidity while drying is essential for the curing process afterwards. It allows your bud in their containers to draw the remaining moisture from the center of the bud and distribute it evenly throughout producing an exceptional smoke. Flavor wise/potency and conversion of inactive canabanoids back to thc. Overall num nums, hehe.

You really should get rid of the infected nuggs. it could spread and damage other nuggs.
you can check for mold with a 10x to 30x scpoe from radio shack.
it looks like stretched fibers.
the mold can cause lung infections.
