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.

Eh, they’ll just cut them back, plaster over the holes and rent it to the next victim.

The planet belongs to the fungi, they are just letting us live on it. For now.

Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom

Toilet mushrooms go great with crotch fries, they really bring out that tanginess.

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 7 months ago
Are you at least vaguely responsible? You should be fine, grow a way man!
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
They got an oyster mushroom growing kit, not a way man growing kit, silly.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This is unlikely to happen unless you are neglecting your home maintenance - the mushrooms are probably the least of these folks worries.

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 7 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.
Corno@lemm.ee 7 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 7 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.

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 7 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.

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

nifty@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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.

You just need to be positive.
pastaPersona@lemmy.world 7 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 7 months ago
You wan to eat the toilet mushroom the most, don’t you?
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Its already got some nutella on it too
Wogi@lemmy.world 7 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.
Blackout@kbin.run 7 months ago
Yeah 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!

I feel like this system is flawed but I don’t know enough about mushrooms to refute it
inconel@lemmy.ca 7 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 7 months ago
Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
zloubida@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Oyster mushrooms are one of the few known carnivorous mushrooms. They’re cool (and edible).
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 7 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 7 months ago
It was an episode of “Hannibal” - episode S01E02 “Amuse-Bouche.”
MrNesser@lemmy.world 7 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 7 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 7 months ago
Interesting TIL, thanks!
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
They can, since they literally are competing for the same resources.
MonkderDritte@feddit.de 7 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 7 months ago
Many oyster mushrooms are, but unless you grew them from a box you know are safe, I would steer clear.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I mean, that’s an advice I’ll happily follow
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 7 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 7 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 7 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 7 months ago
mPony@lemmy.world 7 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 7 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 7 months ago
Dude being here, eating for free while having reasons to lower rent. Genius.

db2@lemmy.world 7 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.
