99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.
Ah, so there are 3 options- discomfort, death, and nutrition. Therefore, every time you eat a fungus, you have a 1/3 chance of dying. Thanks for the info!
NotHowStatisticsWork
True; some mold is actually medicine. Therefore you only have 1/4 chance of dying.
1/5, some are hallucinogens
Yeah? Then successfully explain how statistics work, smart guy. But I warn you, there’s a 50% chance you’ll fail.
It’s actually 50% because it either kills you or is doesn’t. Those are the two options.
You both sound correct. No idea who to trust, so I guess there’s a 50:50 chance that it’s 50% or that it’s one in three.
Just as believing in a deity gives you a 50% chance of salvation.
Oh, you like math? Name all the numbers.
Or when growing in cheese.
Cheese also tastes good with butter.
No one:
Everyone: adds a pointless “No one:” above perfectly valid memes
And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.
I swear, every meme nowadays is three levels of reaction deep.
But how will i drive engagement to my shitter page if i don’t slap my username on every meme I find?
POV: Someone added a useless “no one” to their meme
This one grinds my gears too because it doesn’t even make sense.
“No one said nothing” is a double negative. Shouldn’t it be
Everyone:
Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans
And humans are more closely related to mushrooms than plants!
Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.
“Mycelium schlong”
Linguistic creativity at its best.
See also other soft cheeses like brie
Whoa there… We eat mold too if they’re the right type and on the right things.
*Blu cheese has entered the chat*
Blue cheese would like a word.
The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.
So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.
lactobacillus is everywhere. Truly the king of kings.
On typing this out, I’m suddenly concerned about this being offensive or blatantly false. I never applied critical thought to the story before, as I’m pretty sure I was told it as a relatively young, and more relevantly gullible, man.
Is it true that this mold played a role in the “witches ride broomsticks” stereotype?
edit: Removed redundant word.
It sounds like a few different things got mashed together there. Ergot is a hallucinogenic fungus that grows on rye, and is speculated to be the cause of some of the witch panics. It’s not the same fungus found in Roquefort, but it is what they use to make LSD.
Witches flying is hypothesized to be entheogen use, since a common side effect is feelings of floating, flying, or otherwise ‘being high’.
Ah, I looked it up and accepted “rye bread” without actually reading the name of the fungus, so you’re probably right about that part.
The broomstick myth that I’ve heard does indeed involve substance abuse to achieve an altered state of mind. The broomstick specific part was because apparently some women would put the substance on the end of a broomstick and apply it, shall we say, internally, thinking that this would achieve greater (or perhaps faster) effect. I don’t know whether entheogen was the material in question.
As initially mentioned, I make no claim that this is true, only that I read it a long time ago and never really questioned it.
edit: Forgot to thank you for the clearly knowledgeable response!
I don’t know whether entheogen was the material in question.
En-theo-gen, where ‘theo’ is the same as ‘theology’, roughly means ‘to commune with god’, so it’s any psychoactive substance used religiously. It covers everything from the wine in christian communion to a witch’s psychoactive sybian, haha.
Forgot to thank you for the clearly knowledgeable response!
Any time!
the difference between eating mushrooms and eating mold is the difference between oral sex and vore
Wait am I supposed to just motion the mushroom in and out repeatedly then once it shrivels, the job is done?
Cheese and yoghurt enter the chat.

basically the same thing with men

Wait I thought mushrooms were the flowers… Or are you telling me that flowers are also genitals!!! 💥
Flowers are flowers genitals as well.
So they’re manspreading
Yep lol just wait till you find out what pollen is analogous too lol
So bees are slutty sex pests and fly around covered in plant cum…
Yes… But technically they’re performing In Bee-tro fertilization (IBF) … I’ll show myself out
Ha! I read that they’re loyal to their favourite flower… Fetish?
What a life.
brb, i have a fursona to make
…is bread mold harmful to eat?
EDIT: Still have not gotten a wholly confirmed answer lol
Fuck, I remember Gumby. What happened to that guy?
I dunno. I miss him, though… and his pony pal Pokey, too.
Maybe the blockheads finally got him.
For a costume event, I got a Gumby outfit and put a gladiator shirt over it. I don’t think anybody got it.
Bread mold is not one universal thing, while certain molds may be more common, without doing involved identification you will not be able to determine the species and therefore safety of bread mold. Even if the majority of the time it is a safe species, you should not be knowingly risking it.
It’s as harmful as picking up a random bug and eating it.
Which means: you might die. Or you might not.
Trusting the internet to give you the answer here as the final defacto answer… Maybe not the best.
Sorry, my plethora of mycologist friends are non-existent.
I go to Lemmy to get crowd-sourced information from people’s personal experiences. From the looks of it, people are saying “yeah maybe don’t do that. Risky.” I’ll believe them! Amd the reasoning behind them seems sound, as well.
Better than asking bots on F×cebook or whatnot.
SEB is a 32 year old woman, presenting to the emergency room…
Listen: I’ve never gotten sick from eating slightly moldy bread. Ever.
Scallions, however, sent me to the emergency room shitting blood (turns out it was an allergy or intolerance or some nonsense).
I ain’t one of those “Taco Bell gives me explosive diarrhea” nerds. That’s weak. 😤
I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia
Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:
tomato tomato
I’ve been sucking off genitalia this whole time?!
You should try mushrooms, they’re delicious too.
I’ll give it a try. Got any recipes?
