Literally Everything We Know About Mushrooms

[@4TheWizard]

Aspiring mycologist here! A neat fungus fact that was recently discovered is that mushrooms can sometimes control the rain! For a basic summary, by releasing billions of spores high into the air, they pass through clouds, interacting with so many water vapour particles at once that it causes a chain reaction where it begins to rain! There's a lot more science behind it than that, but scientists are trying to harness that ability so that we can start controlling rain! How cool would that be?

[@lemon-hk4dm]

i never knew that, wow

[@GingerPale]

Wait this is really cool- I also heard there’s a type of mushroom that can break down plastic which is nutty. I feel like it could be insanely useful but they have really particular living conditions- Thank you for your fun fact :)

Merlin Sheldrake, a Mycologist (and brother to Cosmo Sheldrake, songwriter behind “The Moss”) released a book on mushrooms(as mycologists do). He got his author’s copy, soaked it in sugar water, and then grew mushrooms on it. He then ate said mushrooms. He’s really something.

[@harrisono.324]

when you mentioned honey mushrooms being the biggest living thing on the planet, I thought about Pando, the tree forest that is all one connected tree, technically one organism, which I had heard was the biggest living thing. some googling and some math later, I learned that Pando weighs about 6500 metric tons. I still don't know which is bigger, they both have the same large number!

[@3333ton]

The fungus is bigger in size while the "forest" is bigger in weight.

[@elliotsimonscine]

They've now found a massive sea grass field in Australia that's one organism and also bigger in size than pando and the fungus at 77 square miles!

[@4TheWizard]

There have been reported colonies of other types of fungi that apparently have over 500 cubic acres in size! It's not a honey mushroom I don't think, but that is immensely big, like unfathomably big.

Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend of mine recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

[@CathieGomez-mp8sk]

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@PriscillaLogan-by9ll]

wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@JesseJason-qc7ug]

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,

[@gordontheseal]

Fun fact about mushrooms: there is a type of mushroom found in Scandinavia and it looks like a very average mushroom. But it has hallucinogenic qualities to it that may have numbed your ability to feel pain. So way back when Vikings were around they fed these to special warriors, beloved to be chosen by Odin, to essentially not care that they were bleeding in seven spots and have several arrows in them since they couldn’t feel the pain. And then they died. To Valhalla

My favorite fungi fact: there's a type of mold only found under Chernobyl that feeds off the radiated melted waste from the disaster, thus making it less radioactive. Also, that waste (melted remains of the reactor in the basement) goes by the name "The Elephant's Foot" (not a fungus) and to say it will kill you is an understatement, since it can give you a massively lethal dose of radiation poisoning.

[@cranial_bait]

The elephants foot is definitely really interesting to learn about

[@GlidingZephyr]

Chernobyl is probably the single most terrifying place in the world.

[@scoutgaming737]

Going near the elephant's foot is probably one of the most agonising deaths you could have, if not the most

[@olivevista5086]

Actually, the lethality of the Elephant’s foot has decreased since the meltdown. At the time of its discovery (9 months after the meltodown), it was indeed very lethal. In the 34 years since then, the lethality has decreased. It is still lethal with prolonged exposure, but it won’t kill you in a few seconds.

There is one type of mushroom that can technically hunt. I forget the fine details, but it makes a snare big enough for a nematode to get in, and once one goes through the loop, the loop activates and kills it, then chemically dissolves the body so the hypae can absorb the nutrients

[@nouhorni3229]

Feeding on nematodes evolved independently serveral times in fungi with over 100 species known. Some use sticky traps too.

Hello!! Microbiologist here to help fill in the fine details!! Youre talking about a fungi with spores that go by the name of Arthrobotrys! They lure in the nematode in with chemically released signals to get it entangled within its webbing of hyphae, cinch it with localized cells which then penetrate and kill the nematode, essentially sucking it of nutrients and then growing through it too

I love foraging, no matter if its mushrooms, plants, or nuts. Mushrooms are really cool! The amount of diversity is insane, from fly agaric that inspired the mushroom in mario, to the best and tasty morels, they are all super unique and beautiful in their own way. They are also one of my favorite things to practice drawing! When foraging, make sure to take in account if that mushroom, or plant has any poisonous like-alikes, even if its something your familiar with! Such as the potato, which is related to nightshade. If eaten when it is too ripe, or after its prime can cause sickness. For more information, I suggest reading one of Thomas J. Epel's books, like foraging in the mountain west, which covers plants, animals, nuts, and mushrooms!

I’ve heard many good things about psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms and their health benefits, I also heard it helps one get through addiction and depression. I’m just wondering where I can get my hands on them cause I’ll love to give it a try. I’m passing through a state of terrible depression lately.

I love these type of sponsors! They don't just tell you stuff. They actually make you want to watch the ad

[@venusblade4ever]

I know someone pointed out zombie fungus, so I’m gonna talk about: Doctors tried to make medication to exclusively get rid of fungi in the body, namely blood/certain organs- but it didn’t work. No, the medicine that they were able to make ended up eating/breaking down your bodies cells, making it harmful to get rid of internal fungi. So they don’t sell it/prescribe it. Fungi has to be removed through alternative means (I think the main one is literally surgery/cutting it out OR fighting it off with help with steroids). There are certain diseases that also have to be removed this way (including cancer). There are certain medications to get rid of fungi in the nails, (most) layers of skin, butt hole, the uterus, ears, nose, mouth, and the eyes. (If more internal, be prepared to fight) So, yeah. There is medicine to get rid of most parasites and bacteria and to help build resistance to certain viruses, but not to get rid of mold in certain places. Be careful out there!

[@mojonojo]

It's really interesting how fungal cells are so similar to mammal cells that a medicine to kill the former ends up killing the latter as well. I think I heard somewhere that some fungi are so similar to us biologically that eating them makes us sick because it triggers our body's anti-cannibalistic response.

So glad that mushroom mania has gripped you too, Ginger. It’s prime mushroom season here in Australia right now and I’ve been on three mushroom hunts in my local area (hunts only to observe mushrooms and make neat lil spore prints, I’m still learning about what could potentially be eaten dw) and it’s been awesome!! Found so many cool things and some stuff that I couldn’t find any sources on. I know Australia’s mushroom scene is very under documented but I swear, this is just ridiculous

Another neat food related fungus is Aspergillus oryzae- the main fungus in the substance known as Koji. Koji is involved in making several different items, like miso and vinegar, but can also be used as a meat marinade or in an amino paste. The world of fungi is as mysterious as it is fascinating, and the very fact that we know so little about it and yet see such potential makes it very exciting to work with.

Fun fact: the Protist kingdom does actually have some members that are visible without a microscope. It’s the catch-all kingdom for all eukaryotes that aren’t already plants, animals, or fungi. It includes slime molds and algae, and because kelp is a kind of algae, protists can be up to 150 feet long.

I love mushrooms, they're great buddies! I like to grow shiitakes as a hobby, and it's the most rewarding thing. They're super easy to care for, and it's so exciting when their little pins start popping out! I dunno what you guys think, but if a person can't get crazy hype about growing a shiitake the size of their head, then we probably can't be friends. And they aren't invited to my tea parties.
