My uni house bathroom has mushrooms growing too, or fungus like that. We just use a tissue and pull it off when it grows back, got them and damp all over the bathroom :(


My flat may be the dampest flat in Edinburgh but that is no excuse for fungus to be growing. Open a window after a shower, clean it once in a while...

I FOUND OUT WHAT THE BEAST IS!!!!!

Peziza domiciliana

This brownish cup fungus surprises people by appearing in their houses, often through cracks in concrete or masonry. It is also found in sandstone and in crumbling building remains, as well as in carpets, plaster, shower stalls, and so on. Peziza domiciliana is not the only species of Peziza that could conceivably grow in such settings, but it is the species that is usually found indoors or in concrete. Identification to a scientific certainty, therefore, requires microscopic analysis (see the list of microscopic features below).

Edibility is not known for Peziza domiciliana; do not experiment.

Description:

Ecology: Saprobic, growing alone or gregariously in indoor settings or outside in garages, concrete rubble, coal bins, sand, and so on; year-round; widely distributed in North America.

Fruiting Body: When young goblet-shaped, with a short stem; in age flattening out to become irregularly saucer-shaped (but usually retaining a depressed center); 2-10 cm wide; upper surface at first whitish, darkening to pale brown, smooth or wrinkled; under surface usually slightly paler; flesh pale, sometimes bruising slowly yellowish; odor not distinctive; often surrounded by whitish mycelium.

Microscopic Features: Spores 11-15 x 6-10 µ; smooth or slightly roughened at maturity; without oil droplets or with 2 small droplets. Asci eight-spored; with blue tips in Melzer's Reagent; up to 250 x 12 µ. Paraphyses slender; septate; with swollen tips.

Well i think thats the beast anyway :p
 
I cant believe you think that mess is cool and funny. Think of all the and god knows what else is rotting away in there. A messy flat is one thing, but that is just not right.

Seriously, how can you feel comfortable going for a crap in there?

That must seriously stink too.

Oh well, you must really impress the ladies! :rolleyes:
