Mushroom growing on the bathroom ceiling

#16416924 - 06/21/12 10:40 PM (10 months, 26 days ago)

Before I noticed the leak coming from the second floor bathroom I saw this Coprinoid mushroom growing from the ceiling. Add drywall to the list of preferred substrates. :thumbup:

Any one else have any mushrooms growing in odd places? Feel free to share!

A giant puffball can produce 7-9 trillion spores. If each spore produced one giant puffball they would reach to the sun and back. :sun:

I used to work in a fast food place, and we had several different kinds growing out of the grout between the tiles of the floor under the CO2 and fountain soda multiplex. Very weird.

Yeah, you must hate to want to get it fixed b/c that little guy is making your ceiling his home. :sad:

I wonder if you can transplant? He's the epitome of fungal darwinism!

Those pictures are from a few days ago, now I just have a black spore print on the ceiling..I'm sure this won't be the last mushroom I see growing in my bathroom.

Yeah, it's times like these that I'm glad I rent.

I joke with my gf about there being so many spores in the house that one day she would wake up to find a mushroom in the bathtub. That was a joke....now I know it could really happen...sheesh!
