Canoe made from mushrooms

Cubensis Canoe. anyone?

I see she's wearing a tie-dye

Quorn, originally described as mushroom protein is now more accurately labelled as 'mycoprotein' and is derived from a fungus or mould called ' Fusarium venenatum'....In most Quorn products, the fungus culture is dried and mixed with egg albumen, which acts as a binder, and then is adjusted in texture and pressed into various forms.

“Myco” refers to things related to fungi but mycoprotein is not from mushrooms. Rather, it's produced by a thread-like fungus that's found in the soil.

that sounds revolting. ive seen plants with, and battled against, fusarium wilt in cannabis plants - its rare and hard to diagnose in cannabis but devastating. of course fusarium wilt is a different species of fusarium, and quorn/f venenatum does not have any of the horrible effects ive typed out below, but it still gives me the heebie-jeebies.  

F. oxysporum is a common soil pathogen and saprophyte that feeds on dead and decaying organic matter. It survives in the soil debris as a mycelium and all spore types, but is most commonly recovered from the soil as chlamydospores.[1] This pathogen spreads in two basic ways: it spreads short distances by water splash, and by planting equipment, and long distances by infected transplants and seeds. F. oxysporum infects a healthy plant by means of mycelia or by germinating spores penetrating the plant's root tips, root wounds, or lateral roots. The mycelium advances intracellularly through the root cortex and into the xylem. Once in the xylem, the mycelium remains exclusively in the xylem vessels and produces microconidia (asexual spores).[10] The microconidia are able to enter into the sap stream and are transported upward. Where the flow of the sap stops the microconidia germinate. Eventually the spores and the mycelia clog the vascular vessels, which prevents the plant from up-taking and translocating nutrients. In the end the plant transpires more than it can transport, the stomata close, the leaves wilt, and the plant dies. After the plant dies the fungus invades all tissues, sporulates, and continues to infect neighboring plants.

f oxysporum has also been modified and turned into a biological weapon by the US government -

Mass casualties occurred in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 1940s when Fusarium-contaminated wheat flour was baked into bread, causing alimentary toxic aleukia with a 60% mortality rate. Symptoms began with abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and prostration, and within days, fever, chills, myalgias and bone marrow depression with granulocytopenia and secondary sepsis occurred. Further symptoms included pharyngeal or laryngeal ulceration and diffuse bleeding into the skin (petechiae and ecchymoses), melena, bloody diarrhea, hematuria, hematemesis, epistaxis, vaginal bleeding, pancytopenia and gastrointestinal ulceration. Fusarium sporotrichoides contamination was found in affected grain in 1932, spurring research for medical purposes and for use in biological warfare. The active ingredient was found to be trichothecene T-2 mycotoxin, and it was produced in quantity and weaponized prior to the passage of the Biological Weapons Convention in 1972. The Soviets were accused of using the agent, dubbed "yellow rain", to cause 6,300 deaths in Laos, Kampuchea, and Afghanistan between 1975 and 1981.[9][10] The "biological warfare agent" was later purported to be merely bee feces,[11][12] but the issue remains disputed.

Following an outbreak of Fusarium oxysporum that affected coca plantations in Peru, and other crops planted in the area, the United States has proposed the use of the agent as a mycoherbicide in drug eradication. In 2000, a proposal was passed to use the agent as part of Plan Colombia. In response to concerns use of the fungus could be perceived as biological warfare, the Clinton Administration "waived" this use of Fusarium. A subsequent law passed in 2006 has mandated the testing of mycoherbicide agents - either Fusarium oxysporum or Crivellia papaveracea - in field trials in U.S. territory.[13] Use of Fusarium oxysporum for these tests has raised concerns because resistant coca from the previous outbreak has been widely cultivated, and the fungus has been implicated in the birth of 31 anencephalic children in the Rio Grande region of Texas in 1991[citation needed], the loss of palm trees in Echo Park, Los Angeles[14], and eye infections from contact lens solutions.[15] The alternative Crivellia papaveracea is less well known; despite decades of study in the Soviet biowarfare lab in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the relevant mycotoxins reportedly have not yet been isolated, named, or studied

idk even know what to say about this one

The fungus has the ability to dissolve gold, then excrete it onto the surface of the fungus, encrusting itself with gold. The fungus is currently being evaluated as a possible way to help detect hidden underground gold reserves.[26][27]

WTF what a fascinating fungus

Trippiecanoe and Boomers Too

Lol.

Gold . . . shit-ter (wah wah waah wah)

If Trump could eat gold and have it coat him afterward, he definitely would.

Then he'd look like his bathroom.

'Shrooms are cool.

He's more King Feces than King Midas.  Everything he touches turns to shit.

I used to be a king
And everything around me turned to shit
It's 'cause I built my life on sand
And I ate fast food a little bit
