"Why do we eat the fungi that taste good and not the ones that give you explosive diarrhea?"
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.
lactobacillus is everywhere. Truly the king of kings.
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.
Some moulds are totally fine, see blue cheese. Some mycelium schlongs are dangerous, see death caps.
See also other soft cheeses like brie
"Mycelium schlong"
Linguistic creativity at its best.
Wait I thought mushrooms were the flowers... Or are you telling me that flowers are also genitals??!! ๐ฅ
Flowers are flowers genitals as well.
So they're manspreading
Poppycock.
Yep lol just wait till you find out what pollen is analogous too lol
So bees are slutty sex pests and fly around covered in plant cum...
brb, i have a fursona to make
Yes... But technically they're performing In Bee-tro fertilization (IBF) .... I'll show myself out
It's more like they're the unicorns to angiosperms. Meanwhile non angiosperm plants are the guy who busts a nut on the bus
What a life.
If the french eat frogs that's fine, but when the south Americans do it everyone loses their minds.
(Poison dart frogs)
I prefer calling it flowers than genitallia
Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:

Both are pictures of genitalia, one of them is just really really small, microscopic even, so you are being very insensitive towards the microscopic genitalia.
I feel seen
It doesn't need to be big to do it's job!๐ก
No one:
Everyone: adds a pointless โNo one:โ above perfectly valid memes
POV: Someone added a useless "no one" to their meme
POV: you're the other person watching someone else do the action being described
And on top of that, a pointless Twitter comment.
I swear, every meme nowadays is three levels of reaction deep.

"why is that we eat the fruit and not the tree?"
Cinnamon
Maple syrup
Why apple but not apple seed
Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans

99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.
Not quiet
98.99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death, 1% tastes good with butter. The the remaining 0.01% is estimated to have saved over half a billion lives.
And 0.00001% makes me see and feel funny things
More of them do that, but only once.
