I think my brain would just short circuit if I saw that growing out of the floorboards.

I remember walking past (actually out of now I think of it) a 19th C hospital and shrooms like these had torn the pavement up outside it. I mean I love crazy weird tasty mushrooms but it did make me think about how the largely undisturbed for two centuries site had mycelium running everywhere.
Also: last of us TV series is awesome!

The company vowed to raise the floorboards and inspect for moisture now that the property had been vacated.
I’ll save them the trouble. Shrooms will not grow without moisture. It’s a necessary precondition. Something under there is seriously ■■■■■.

So, if they find a body down there will they call the police or just scrape it out and replace the flooring?

I live in Seattle and I have grown accustomed to fungi showing up everywhere. We found mushrooms growing in our car once.

For the love of all that is good and holy, is it really that hard to rotate your phone by 90°?

I know I shouldn’t but the yard reeeealllly tempted me last year. Working in the yard one day, there was the most delicious, earthy, mushroom aroma. It was like nothing I’ve ever smelled before, an absolutely delicious scent. There were some new mushrooms out, probably hickory boletes…but even if I could positively identify them (narrator: he couldn’t), the jury was out on whether they were edible…
And then at the very end of the season I got hundreds of what I was certain were edible puffballs…but not certain enough to eat them. They were puffballs after all, but by the time you can verify that, they have developed spores and are poisonous again.
…stupid delicious inedible things. But I draw a hard line at foraging mushrooms…
