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

    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.

      Isn’t it amazing how the coming together of minds from across the world can bring fresh and new vocabulary to the world?

    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.

        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.

            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.

              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.

              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.

                  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.

        “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.”

          Well how do you think it starts, soon enough the fungi will become smarter and start infecting less sick individuals

    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.

        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.

    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?

        It was an episode of “Hannibal” - episode S01E02 “Amuse-Bouche.”
