The mycelium is what's toxic, it's why you can't just scrape off the outer layer of mold and be fine, and why there are some foods that are permanently fucked once you see fruiting bodies (soft foods like fruits and bread) and some food that if you cut far enough around you're fine (hard foods like cheeses), because the mycelium can spread further in soft foods and not as far in hard foods.

what if there is no visible mold yet? the mycelum forms first, lets say i leave milk in the open for a couple of days and the next day there is visible mold, would i be ingesting significant amounts of toxins if i drink some on that day?

The mycelium is the toxic part even when there's no visible mold (the visible mold we see is the fruiting bodies).

Yes, like I said especially for soft foods the mycelium spreads far and quickly.

not all. but some. if you want to be safe assume that by the time it fruits the mycellium has spread throughout the medium its on.

If your lucky, you just get yogurt
If you're unlucky, food poisoning

is the mycelium tasteless before it starts making fruiting bodies? would you detect that its gone bad?

When food goes bad you can usually taste or smell it before you can see it
