Fungus?

Can you eat purple sprouting broccoli that's had a fungus infection?

Plants, 2off, 3-4 foot high, seem to have recovered from a white fungal infections that killed off many of lower bigger leaves over the winter. Still some patches of off white/ yellow rot in lower leaves about size of a penny, rotting holes in leaves.
Now fruiting, didn't think it would as lost large amount of leaves.
Fruit look fine.

Are they safe to eat!?

Ahhhhhhhhhh, further perusal of the internet generalising vegetables do not as a rule pass on any disease to humans. So I'm happily eating the ( diminished) fruits, ignoring the fading fungus..

Nothing wrong with eating plant fungi NEW

All good to eat, fungi, dirt, bugs, even manure from herbivores. Won't hurt and probably good for you, as we supposedly have a 'too clean' diet these days.
