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 40 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You want to eat the toilet mushroom the most, don't you?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Its already got some nutella on it too

[–] Wogi 31 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

How do you feel about sauerkraut, kimchi, sour cream, cheese, yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, tofu, tempeh, beer, wine, or dry aged meats?

[–] Wogi 10 points 8 months ago

As far as kinda gross foods go I'd put mushrooms pretty far down the list. People eat crazy shit all the time. Once you clean em off there's really nothing wrong with them.

Also most of the food you eat grows in actual shit.

Fungus in general is incredibly alien. It's not a plant, it's not an animal, it's.... something outside of our traditional understanding.

Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they're... creepy...

[–] sternail 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I mean they are definitely inside our understandig. They‘re just not animals or plants, but fungi. With all the diversity we have on earth it probably make sense that we have organisms that aren‘t classified as neither animals or plants.

[–] candybrie 9 points 8 months ago

And it's not like we don't love other fungus. Any yeasty bread contains fungus (yeasty breads include most nonquick beads or flat breads and like cinnamon rolls or pizza crust).

[–] Gabu 5 points 8 months ago

Same. It's just fucking bizarre. Having said that, living by eating the corpses of other animals is also insanity, only to a smaller degree.

[–] Lev_Astov 1 points 8 months ago

I felt the same until some point in high school when I realized all food ultimately grows from recycled rot, so I decided to try liking mushrooms. It was a lot easier to overcome the texture of those than of raw tomato or onion and opened up a whole new world of umami flavor. Just wash them and cook them; there's no understanding the people eating them raw...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Yeah the piss on top of them is just added flavor!

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 29 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You can always try the chew test.

Chew a bit and see if you die in 24 hours. If you don't, eat away!

[–] TerrificTadpole 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I feel like this system is flawed but I don't know enough about mushrooms to refute it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

The way to fix this test is to feed some to the landlord first.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
