A what the hell is this pic.

[Robert Jones]

Had this sent to me by a concerned college student parent. Her daughter is going to school in my area and she lives out of state. She was explaining to me about a mold condition, so I asked for a pic. This is what i got.

How is the hell is a shroom growing up from the carpet(wall?)? And I am sure this didn't just appear over night.

Water getting in that trim from someplace.

Might be edible! They might have their own salad garnish!

Have a licensed competent sous chef saute it in olive oil, shallots, and a touch of soy.

Yep, water in the wall. Long term. Something's a soggy mess in there.

Might taste like chicken(?). http://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/ch ... woods.html

The water has likely been there a while, but that particular shroom could well have appeared over night. Fungi grow incredibly fast.

I'm guessing basement apartment.

I paid $8 for a shroom like that at Whole Foods the other day!

There's enough dirt under that carpet to support a farm. Just add spores and water.

Or dog pee, for a corner garden patch.
