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.

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!!

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.

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?

I would've plugged my nose with something and twisted on my macro filter. I usually take pics when I find something dead anyway. Is that twisted? Would it be cooler if fungus was involved?

I would have no problem eating a mushroom growing on a fleshy substrata, but its kinda my job to know flavor profiles. If Homo-sapiens where readily consumed I'm sure I would be taiste testing them before serving too.
I have read that Polyporus sulphureus can cause gastric upset when growing on hemlock. That is only speculation from that author though. Boletus mirabilis seems to grow specifically on decaying hemlock and is a choice edible.
Some mushrooms have been know to concentrate metal in there substrate I.e. mercury and gold. I do not know if these can be transposed into the mushroom. They may though. I ate an Amanita muscaria picked from beside a dentists office that had a very metallic flavor. I never when back to that patch.
Paul Stamets on the other hand claims:Pleurotus oystreous mushrooms, from his bus depot experiment, where completely edible and harmless after consuming a pile of oil enriched substrate.
Your guess is as good as mine. Better safe than sorry.

Cool fox!
Whats the last one??
Always good to see others who can enjoy photographing images like this... sometimes I feel like people might think i am gross for doing the same... but i find it highly intriguing and great for photo subjects.... and sometimes I cant resist dragging clean skulls and various bones home... they go nicely in my rock and wood garden~

yes, Cordyceps Scizophyllum Scizophyllum commune are known to infest the nasal passage. They are using them (edit) Cordyceps in conjunction with them as a body building supplement, with no real long term investigation.
Other Cordyceps infect insects taking over their central nervous system. After grabbing hold the insect is pretty much a zombie controlled by the mushroom. The Cordyceps then steer them to higher ground where they are mummified by the mycelium and consumed. The fungus then fruits to spread it's spores.

Those Cordyceps are so bad ass. I saw them on Planet Earth, the BBC video series. Its a must see if you haven't already...
They need to find one that attacks the chinese stinkbugs that have invaded. Whoever discovers that could finds themselves rolling in money. I'd certainly give them mine.

Cordyceps and Schizophyllum are two separate genera with nothing in common. Schizophyllum commune is a very agressive wood digesting fungus. It grows everywhere, from trees, to park benches and beyond. It has been documented to infest nasal passages of patients with severely compromised immune system (HIV, cancer etc.) a couple of times. But it's by no means a common occurrence. Cordyceps on the other hand is a genera of parasitic fungi that attacks specific invertebrates, and some species are used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine, and now in modern 'natural' medicine as 'herbal supplements'.

Sometimes I get my research mixed up. Thank you. Schizophyllum commune Damn. I should know this.
I quit smoking weed a few days ago in hopes to clear up my mental fog.

Found a patch of what looks like a "corpse finder." Maybe I should start digging? They look similar to cyans except for the color.

Very old thread, but an interesting one that I might flip through again.
Those look like Heboloma, but I wouldn't hope for a corpse under them.
