Anyone ever found a "Corpse Finder?" (Hebeloma syriense)

"This species once brought a crime to light when human remains were found beneath it; in another instance, the mushroom was discovered growing out of a buried box containing a baby's bones. A related Japanese species is known to grow from the remains of animal carcasses." [Lincoff, p626]
Anyone ever found this mushroom? I think that I would shit my pants if I found this. Not sure if I would have the courage to start digging around a bit. 
Definitely not interested in the edibility of this one.

The name is in the title of the thread, Hebeloma syriense.

There are a few sarcophilous (flesh loving) Hebeloma species around the world. Australia has the Ghoul Fungus (Hebeloma aminophilum). There are also Hebeloma spoliatum, Hebeloma radicosum, Hebeloma vinosophyllum, Hebeloma luchuense and probably a few more.
They like nitrogen rich environments like those where animals have decomposed.

There is an article in the new issue of Fungi magazine about them. If I understood it correctly, I think there is a triple symbiosis between the dead animal, the fungi and the surounding plant! Its pretty gnarly!! Because Hebeloma is mychorizial .
And Timmi that sounds dope, the ghoul fungus!!

She is training shiitake and oyster mushrooms by feeding them her hair, nails and skin. She has a cool TED talk if you have Netflix, although I would think it's on YouTube also.

I watched the TED talk, after I posted. I realized she may not be using the same, when I saw the Pleurotus ostreatus culture growing. It actually struck me as a little odd that she would not use a mushroom that already has the features she is looking for, besides edibility. I guess she wants to make an edible corps eater. A corps eating edible I should say.
I wish her luck on chasing those genetics.
Thank you for setting me strait.

She will inadvertently make mushrooms that eat and kill people and cause the destruction of humanity. Our bodies are covered in dead skin... It's only a matter of time now before they evolve and become parasitic.

Mushrooms are our enemies. support the war effort by kick the shit out of as many as you can find.
Seriously though, how horrible would it be to be slowly eaten alive by mycelium?

I don't think she's using those species because they are edible but because they are easy to cultivate. I sure as fuck wouldn't eat a mushroom growing from a corpse. Cannibalism by proxy.
While were on this topic, is it dangerous to eat (normally edible) mushrooms on certain substrates?
