I’m also curious as to what the symbiotic relationship with the genus Mustelidae is

Also, you cannot kill them in a way that matters

Break mycelium in half, now is just two mycelium. Mycelium win every time.

thank you for the gold reference. completely forgot about that post

Burning them seems to kill them. As does fungicide.

Reminds me: In the roguelike game Cataclysm DDA, there’s fungus monsters. Basically once they’re on the map, the best strategy was to just run and keep running until they were out of the game’s “simulation bubble.”
They would spread fungal colonies uncontrollably, creating fungal towers, spawning more spores, and fungal versions of monsters, which would spread more spores…
You could hack away at them or burn them sure, but all of them? Unlikely. They’d rapidly take over the entire game basically lol … Dunno if that’s been nerfed now.
Spores are freaky. Really freaky…

40k Orcs work like that. It leaves open the question if Orc burgers are vegan or not.

Anyone knows what that allergic reaction thing references? Sounds interesting
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 10 months ago
The part about them being too closely related to Humans sounds like BS, but there is a mushroom that is perfectly safe the first few times you eat it, and then eventually makes your immune system attack your blood cells.
Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 10 months ago
There’s a Paul Stamets video where he talks about how mushrooms are so closely related to humans that we both fight off similar pathogens and that is why they are so useful to us for medicine (penicillin for example.)

What other great mushroom facts do you have, mystery man?

Isn’t there a conspiracy theories that the shrooms are a hive mind secretly guiding humanity’s evolution into godhood?
Kampfkrapfen_Backup@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Do you mean the stoned ape theory? Never have seen it interpreted in that way, but it’s weirdly comforting and I kinda want to believe it now. Makes humanity feel less lost when there could be some fungi buddies looking after us, secretly manipulating us into becoming better beings.

Featured there is Amanita Muscaria, which isn’t really that poisonous. White Amanitas are lethal, never touch those, but with Muscaria you could have some fun.
Some even theorise that the reason Santa is red and white comes from Amanitas, basically a siberian shaman got fucked up on shrooms and climbed down the middle pole of the tent to give everyone else shrooms as well. Which is why Santa comes from the chimney and gives colorful presents. :) (Or so some people have theorised, I’m not asserting it as fact lol.)
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I call bullshit on that one. Santa is red and white because Coca Cola drabbed him in their colors and it catched on. Before that Santa was usually portrayed in white and green.
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 10 months ago
These are my favorites because of their common name. Destroying Angel.
Fun fact: the survival rate without treatment is about half, but that goes up to ~90% if you get treated quickly. However, it can still destroy your liver. The toxin is thermostable so cooking doesn’t break it down. It is excreted in urine so a lot of the treatment consists of pumping you full of fluids and making you pee a lot. There is no actual antidote to the toxin.

Few weeks ago I read up on A. Muscaria, picked up a couple of them, decarboxydized them in an oven and drank tea with 4g of (poorly) dried mushroom. 3 days before sleep.
Holy mother of fungi, it’s like having an antidepressant that, you know, works. Deep sleep duration increased from 10 to 19%. Walking up in the morning felt normal. Weed consumption dropped roughly by half.
Only after three evenings, effects are felt four days after, although waining.
I’m just a noise on the Internet, my words are worth nothing. But read up on the mushroom, it’s definitely something different from what people think it is.
