This is how TLOU starts in real life.
72It already started last year
30An otherwise healthy person can take care of a candida problem by eating a tbsp of coconut oil a day for a week, fyi. It'll cause a big die off of the infection so you'll feel like shit for a couple days while the dead yeast bits flood your waste management system though. Cut back sugar during so you're not feeding the little fuckers while trying to kill them also.
TLOU was cordyceps, the same fungus that makes zombie ants. Thankfully not the same thing.

Now that's goblincore af
56Dude just gave people ideas of how to get revenge on bad landlords, spray some spores on your last day and hope for the worse.
56I thought that was the point of the image
68That was definitely the joke, yeah
38
33
Eh, they'll just cut them back, plaster over the holes and rent it to the next victim.
54The planet belongs to the fungi, they are just letting us live on it. For now.
51The Last of Us

A win is a win.
36Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom
21Toilet mushrooms go great with crotch fries, they really bring out that tanginess.

When I was in high school my family slept on a single mattress in the living room. For some reason I don’t remember, the water from the half bath next to the living room would leak out into the living room, and so the wall separating the living room and half bath would get colonies of mushrooms growing out of the baseboard. Those mushrooms weren’t as exotic as these, tho. I don’t recommend sleeping next to things that give off spores.
30know that sleepy spore life

I've never seen the term toilet mushroom before, and here it is all over this thread
30Isn’t it amazing how the coming together of minds from across the world can bring fresh and new vocabulary to the world?
17It's one of the things I love most about being alive. When I was a kid I loved reading the names and flavor text of Duel Masters cards. They always seemed pulled from the most weirdest corners of people's minds lol
My favorites were always the lovecraftian horrors that had really mundane descriptions.

I don't know why but mushrooms growing on things like carpet/flooring really scares me for some reason 😂 😱
30Me too - for me because things like my floor are meant to be durable, and seeing it being destroyed so easily just by some spores flying around discomfits me.
18I'm so glad my house is inorganic from the ground up to the roof timber. Yes, wet spots would nourish mold, but the concrete and the bricks themselves wouldn't be much affected by it. Or termites! Imagine having a house that could be rendered unusable by an overlooked insect problem. I just don't like the idea.
7Fungus can consume nearly anything organic, but it has to be damp. Even "dry rot" is only dry when you see it, it was once wet for the mycelium to spread through it.
I grew up in a wet climate where we feared mold and fungus, now I live in a dry one where we run humidifiers. You won't ever see mildew or black mold here without a constant moisture source.

DO grow Golden Teachers. Just ask uncle Ben for help.
29You just need to be positive.

My wife just bought me a pack that's oyster mushroom growing kit. Now I'm scared
29Have fun welcoming Ork Boyz to your house
17Enjoy the grow, nothing to be worried about. You should try to pick them before they start dropping spores, but it's not a big deal if they drop spores.
11Are you at least vaguely responsible? You should be fine, grow a way man!
7They got an oyster mushroom growing kit, not a way man growing kit, silly.
14
This is unlikely to happen unless you are neglecting your home maintenance - the mushrooms are probably the least of these folks worries.
4
Probably a terrible idea, but would these in any way be safe to eat?
Obviously not the toilet mushrooms, but maybe the ones growing out of the chair, cracks in the floor etc would be safe to cook if washed?
26You want to eat the toilet mushroom the most, don't you?
40Its already got some nutella on it too
17
Mushrooms grow out of rotting organic matter. Oyster mushrooms are all safe to eat so I would imagine that even the toilet shrooms are fine.
31It's not an attack, but I will never understand how mushrooms can be appealing to people. I will never be able to grasp it. To me, mushrooms are grotesque and the desire I see in people to eat them is the equivalent of craving spoiled food. The flavor is not enough to counter the texture triggering my gag reflex.
Yeah, yeah. We all have different tastes and stuff. It's just a hard thing to wrap my head around.
18Yeah the piss on top of them is just added flavor!

You can always try the chew test.
Chew a bit and see if you die in 24 hours. If you don't, eat away!
29Some mushrooms can be poisonous after 24h, just in case. angel wing mushroom shows no digestive symptoms but encephalopathy after 2 day to 1 month of latent period. The mushroom was known to be edible for a long time. Were it not for full screening for encephalopathy cases (enforced due to SARS spread back in 2004), it could've remain "edible" still now.
9
Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
18
Is this early stages of Caelid?
26Nah it needs more red, but it's getting there.
5
Oyster mushrooms are one of the few known carnivorous mushrooms. They're cool (and edible).
25What the fuck was I watching with someone growing mushrooms on sedated people? What the fuck? I know I didn't make that up, people think of some very disgusting things.
8
I mean, that's an advice I'll happily follow
18Time to burn everything down and start fresh.
17Yum roasted mushrooms
13
I wonder if they would stall the growth of normal mold, like if they have to compete for the same resources or something.
15You should google allelopathy. In addition to competition this is something plants use (and some fungi) to win out.
12Interesting TIL, thanks!
2
They can, since they literally are competing for the same resources.
7Clean it and spray a mixture of (colorless) vinegar and citrus juice on it. Vinegar dries out (smells only for a few hours) and mold hates sour. And if you have it in the bath, i had success with scrubbing the ... joints (? german "Fugen") with citrus juice and salt and soap (must be dry before). Washing shower curtain and carpet with vinegar helps too if they got it, doesn't smell.

how long until we see this pop up on a billionaire mindset youtube video?
short on cash? try growing mushrooms in your walls
12Is it edible?
12Many oyster mushrooms are, but unless you grew them from a box you know are safe, I would steer clear.
33
This one time at my old basement apartment I went away for a few days and came back to find a mushroom had grown in the bathroom. Never saw it happen again after that one time.
10Ive seen them at work growing out of the walls near sink drains and behind dishwashers where its always wet. Pretty fucking nasty seeing shit like that. Thankfully we were tearing the place apart for cleaning to prep it for a remodel.

I should grow hen of the woods (maitake) all over my house. I could make a fortune at the eastern market, and have relatively clean mushrooms every night of the week. My cats might lick 'em.
9Hen Of The Woods and Oyster Mushrooms are friggin' tasty. That being said, you have to make CERTAIN what you're eating, or you will fuck up your everything.
3This is just mushrooms in general. There are tons of copycat species that look nearly identical, like false morels, which will kill you.
2
You mean like this cluster I found?
3
Dude being here, eating for free while having reasons to lower rent. Genius.
8shitty landlords ruin the reputation of all landlords.
-5Using shitty and landlord in the same sentence is redundant.
Fuck those parasites.
