Okay, but this is kind of a stretch. Plants are much simpler organisms with different self-repair mechanisms to begin with. They can't typically recover from viruses or poisoning the way higher life forms can.

Some strains of cannabis are naturally very resistant to fungal attacks, simply because it is in their genetics.
The mold itself is consuming the dead plant matter. That's it, end of story, don't smoke moldy bud. And the moisture doesn't come back, the curing process just spreads whatever residual moisture is deep within the bud evenly throughout the bud.
