Humans: 🤮
Human genitalia: 🍆💨👃🤤
“Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?”
Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.
No one:
Everyone: adds a pointless “No one:” above perfectly valid memes
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!
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.
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’.
I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia
Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:

Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans
Not to be confused with ringworms which are, in fact, a mold.
