Is this early stages of Caelid?
Nah it needs more red, but it’s getting there.
A win is a win.
Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom
Toilet mushrooms go great with crotch fries, they really bring out that tanginess.
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.
I thought that was the point of the image
That was definitely the joke, yeah
Time to burn everything down and start fresh.
Yum roasted mushrooms
This is how TLOU starts in real life.
It already started last year
“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.”
bruh
Well how do you think it starts, soon enough the fungi will become smarter and start infecting less sick individuals
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.
Yes, I don’t believe you.
I’m glad you don’t, because you’ll look it up on reputable sources at some point as a result.
Here’s one in case anyone else doesn’t want to take the time to do that.
C. albicans had the highest susceptibility to coconut oil (100%), with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 25% (1:4 dilution)
Unless you eat 1/4 of your body weight in coconut oil this seems to be very irrelevant to human health.
Maybe if my body weight consisted entirely of yeast… that’s the realm of science fiction though.
Look i get a little yeasty sometimes and I need medical advice from the internet give me a break
That’s… Not how concentrations work.
If you eat a spoon of coconut oil the stuff in it won’t magically appear only in the places in your body that are infected, let alone somehow find the yeast cell and cover it in a nice toxic film, all while avoiding being digested in any way. You’re thinking of some pre programmed, intelligent coconut oil or, well, science fiction indeed.
Okay - I’m not going to take this further because I know what candida people are like, but even the title of that paper means it’s not relevant to a living human. Orange juice will kill cancer cells in vitro, it’s meaningless to extrapolate from that. Maybe a coconut oil massage is in order next time I’m feeling a little thrushy, but that’s about it.
You’re laboring under the mistaken impression that I care what you do. The way you started your book of a reply though, I’m gonna go ahead and block you now. Have a nice day.
That guy’s reply was 20 words fewer than your original post blithering about coconut oil.
This is a public forum so people are rightfully pointing out incorrect information, don’t take it personally.
I always thought it was a tbsp of maple syrup a day to take care of a canadian problem
That just turns you more Canadian
Unless you get Vermont syndrome
A healthy person doesn’t have Candida Auris.
Oyster mushrooms are one of the few known carnivorous mushrooms. They’re cool (and edible).
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?
Yes!
It was an episode of “Hannibal” - episode S01E02 “Amuse-Bouche.”
You’re right! The internet is good sometimes.
Sounds like an episode of x files
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.
Yeah the piss on top of them is just added flavor!
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.
As far as kinda gross foods go I’d put mushrooms pretty far down the list. People eat crazy shit all the time. Once you clean em off there’s really nothing wrong with them.
Also most of the food you eat grows in actual shit.
How do you feel about sauerkraut, kimchi, sour cream, cheese, yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, tofu, tempeh, beer, wine, or dry aged meats?
Fungus in general is incredibly alien. It’s not a plant, it’s not an animal, it’s… something outside of our traditional understanding.
Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they’re… creepy…
I mean they are definitely inside our understandig. They‘re just not animals or plants, but fungi. With all the diversity we have on earth it probably make sense that we have organisms that aren‘t classified as neither animals or plants.
And it’s not like we don’t love other fungus. Any yeasty bread contains fungus (yeasty breads include most nonquick beads or flat breads and like cinnamon rolls or pizza crust).
Same. It’s just fucking bizarre. Having said that, living by eating the corpses of other animals is also insanity, only to a smaller degree.
You wan to eat the toilet mushroom the most, don’t you?
Its already got some nutella on it too
You can always try the chew test.
Chew a bit and see if you die in 24 hours. If you don’t, eat away!
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.
I feel like this system is flawed but I don’t know enough about mushrooms to refute it
The way to fix this test is to feed some to the landlord first.
Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
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.
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.
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 bring fresh and new vocabulary to the world?
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.
I mean, that’s an advice I’ll happily follow
Dude being here, eating for free while having reasons to lower rent. Genius.
Is it edible?
Many oyster mushrooms are, but unless you grew them from a box you know are safe, I would steer clear.
DO grow Golden Teachers. Just ask uncle Ben for help.
You just need to be positive.
The planet belongs to the fungi, they are just letting us live on it. For now.
shitty landlords ruin the reputation of all landlords.
Using shitty and landlord in the same sentence is redundant.
Fuck those parasites.
