    This is how TLOU starts in real life.

        An 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.

        “But we don’t want people who watched ‘The Last of Us’ to think we’re all going to die,” Javaid said. “This is an infection that occurs in extremely ill individuals who are usually sick with a lot of other issues.”

        It’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.

    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.

      Me 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.

        I’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.

      • evranch@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Fungus 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.

        Bleach your whole house then seal it with flex seal. It’s the only way to be safe.

      Enjoy 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.

    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?

      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.

      • SendMePhotos@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’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.

        Some 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.

      Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.

    I wonder if they would stall the growth of normal mold, like if they have to compete for the same resources or something.

      Clean 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.
