Dude just gave people ideas of how to get revenge on bad landlords, spray some spores on your last day and hope for the worse.

Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom
HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Toilet mushrooms go great with crotch fries, they really bring out that tanginess.

I’ve never seen the term toilet mushroom before, and here it is all over this thread

Isn’t it amazing how the coming together of minds from across the world can front fresh and new vocabulary to the world?
RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

know that sleepy spore life
Corno@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I don’t know why but mushrooms growing on things like carpet/flooring really scares me for some reason 😂 😱
mouserat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
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.
the_third@feddit.de 11 months ago
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 11 months 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.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bleach your whole house then seal it with flex seal. It’s the only way to be safe.

Zetta@mander.xyz 11 months ago
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.
zammy95@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Are you at least vaguely responsible? You should be fine, grow a way man!
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
They got an oyster mushroom growing kit, not a way man growing kit, silly.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This is unlikely to happen unless you are neglecting your home maintenance - the mushrooms are probably the least of these folks worries.

pastaPersona@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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?
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You wan to eat the toilet mushroom the most, don’t you?
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Its already got some nutella on it too
Wogi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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 11 months 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.
Blackout@kbin.run 11 months ago
Yeah the piss on top of them is just added flavor!

You can always try the chew test.

I feel like this system is flawed but I don’t know enough about mushrooms to refute it
inconel@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
zloubida@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oyster mushrooms are one of the few known carnivorous mushrooms. They’re cool (and edible).
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What 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.

Was it that one episode of Hannibal where the guy grows mushrooms on diabetics he keeps in comas in the forest?
5wim@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
It was an episode of “Hannibal” - episode S01E02 “Amuse-Bouche.”

xia@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I wonder if they would stall the growth of normal mold, like if they have to compete for the same resources or something.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
You should google allelopathy. In addition to competition this is something plants use (and some fungi) to win out.
sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 11 months ago
Interesting TIL, thanks!
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
They can, since they literally are competing for the same resources.
MonkderDritte@feddit.de 11 months ago
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.

Is it edible?
bonn2@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Many oyster mushrooms are, but unless you grew them from a box you know are safe, I would steer clear.
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Ive 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.
Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
mPony@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Hen 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.
Mirshe@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This is just mushrooms in general. There are tons of copycat species that look nearly identical, like false morels, which will kill you.
Nikls94@lemmy.world 11 months ago

db2@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
