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?

RadicalEagle ,

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.

Nice try 4chan, last time I microwaved an Iphone.

Kusimulkku ,

Oh no, you created mustard gas

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Don’t eat spoiled eggs.

I had a coworker who did. She had to go to the emergency room and missed work for a month.

I think I dunno. That was her story. She could have went to Cancun or backpacked in Europe and made up the story.

Saber_is_dead ,

What I learn from this is that if I eat spoiled eggs, I have a 2/3 chance of ending up in Cancun or backpacking across Europe. Brb

I wonder if they would stall the growth of normal mold, like if they have to compete for the same resources or something.

KairuByte ,

They can, since they literally are competing for the same resources.

Track_Shovel OP ,

You should google allelopathy. In addition to competition this is something plants use (and some fungi) to win out.

Interesting TIL, thanks!

MonkderDritte ,

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.

Why is this though? What’s the science for making old eggs float?

Absolute_Axoltl ,

As an egg gets older it starts to break down, so it’s density becomes less. Eventually it’s density will be less than the water so it’ll begin to float.

Deebster ,
@Deebster@programming.dev avatar

The egg start to decompose and produces gas. Some of that gas escapes through the shell, so the egg’s mass decreases, which causes the density of the egg vs water to drop.

Muffi ,

Thanks for this explanation! I couldn’t understand how the overall mass of the egg would change, even if some of the contents turned to a gas.

EmoDuck ,

The older an egg gets the more experienced it gets with swimming. I once had an egg that was so old, it could do 4 laps in an Olympic swimming pool in under a minute

Unfortunately by that zime it had already gone bad. Started smoking, got into trouble with the law, that sorta stuff. Must be because of that satanic heavy metal music

Corno , to lemmyshitpost in C O L O N I Z E

I don’t know why but mushrooms growing on things like carpet/flooring really scares me for some reason 😂 😱

mouserat ,

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.

SkyezOpen ,

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

PersnickityPenguin ,

Bleach doesn’t penetrate, use vinegar instead.

evranch ,

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.

the_third ,

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.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

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.

deft ,

know that sleepy spore life

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.

mPony ,

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 ,

This is just mushrooms in general. There are tons of copycat species that look nearly identical, like false morels, which will kill you.

My wife just bought me a pack that’s oyster mushroom growing kit. Now I’m scared

zammy95 ,

Are you at least vaguely responsible? You should be fine, grow a way man!

KairuByte ,

They got an oyster mushroom growing kit, not a way man growing kit, silly.

Zetta ,

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.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Have fun welcoming Ork Boyz to your house

andros_rex ,

This is unlikely to happen unless you are neglecting your home maintenance - the mushrooms are probably the least of these folks worries.

lowleveldata , to lemmyshitpost in C O L O N I Z E

Is it edible?

bonn2 ,

Many oyster mushrooms are, but unless you grew them from a box you know are safe, I would steer clear.

This is how TLOU starts in real life.

variants ,
db2 ,

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 always thought it was a tbsp of maple syrup a day to take care of a canadian problem

That just turns you more Canadian

feedum_sneedson ,

Yes, I don’t believe you.

db2 ,

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.

feedum_sneedson ,

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.

db2 , (edited )

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.

Edit: A couple more blocked now, +2 noise reduction.

That guy’s reply was 20 words fewer than your original post blithering about coconut oil.

volvoxvsmarla ,

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.

db2 ,

Maybe if my body weight consisted entirely of yeast… that’s the realm of science fiction though.

volvoxvsmarla ,

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.”

DODOKING38 ,

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