        If you don’t want people to eat your genitals, have you considered filling them with deadly alkaloids and neurotoxins? Alternatively, just make your genitals look deeply diseased and likely to kill anyone who breathes near them? These methods seem to work pretty well for most mushrooms.

        If you’re absolutely determined to make sure that no one eats your genitals, and you don’t want to learn from the mushrooms, I would recommend registering as a Republican (or your local fascist party, as the case may be)

    Had a dumb coworker trying to tell me that cheese with a little mold on top was dangerous. She didn’t know the word “mycelium”, but that’s the explanation she was going for. Fair enough, I guess? Anyway, I’m carving the mold off and eating that cheese.

      She was right?

      The mold is on the inside of the cheese, the visible stuff on the surface is just the fruiting body used to spread spores.

        Yep, how far the mold penetrates depends on the hardness of the cheese. Block of cheddar hard enough to play headbrick? Generally fine to just cut off a the outer layer. Anything soft, a good pizza mozzarella maybe? Garbage the whole block

      Speciation of fungi in the first place makes a mockery of our futile, hubristic attempts at taxonomy. Fungus spits on the petty distinctions made by man.

    Mmh. Mushrooms don’t really show their fingers. You know, the things you see and eat, that’s their private parts.

      I wouldn’t call those parts private if they’re just flaunting them all over the place for the world to see. They’re clearly very public parts.
