Could breathing in lots of Phycomyces blakesleeanus (fungus) spores make you sick? And if so, what would it be doing to your body/respiratory system? TIA!

what the heck is this? lol

I am preparing to do a terrarium experiment and was wondering if a bit of dried out fungus from years ago might actually come back to life. Basically I intend to gather some locally sourced natural materials, seal them in a container of sorts (probably a big jar) and see what happens. While gathering the materials I remembered about a stashed bag of old psilocybin mushrooms. I wouldn't eat them probably but it dawned on me that fungus needs to be present in the terrarium in some form....so why not?

I don't need it to. I half expect that other fungi will take over as the dominant species. But on the off (and kind of funny) chance that a psilocybin strain does thrive I'm willing to do the harmless experiment. I understand that, even if the fungus does grow, it may or may not actually fruit in there depending on a variety of factors. I also am well aware that, even if the psilocybin mushrooms did fruit, that there are a number of risks. They would NOT be consumed nor would anything else inside this terrarium under any circumstances whatsoever. This is just an experiment.

Also, is there something I could do to increase the chances of reviving this old fungus in this specific use case? Something I intend to "set and forget" rather than constantly fuss with.

Thank you ahead of time for any advice and happy holidays to anyone reading!

I live in shasta county ca, under an oak tree. I have 2 indoor/ outdoor dogs. One of will eat anything.

idk anything about mushrooms but this guy (and other two) began to grown in my flower pot and idk if it's safe to keep it there, will he eat my plant or something?

Hey guys, can anyone venture a guess as to what this is? Google lens was no help. I am almost committed to buying this house, and this weird growth has appeared all over outside of doorframe. A little worried, because it's close to the entry point and it worries me a little. Mobile, AL (Gulf coast). Thanks!!

Its a pretty huge fruit

I found this while in Western Tennessee, about 15ft above the bank of a river. It looks incredible, like an organ, so I wanted to know what it is. Sorry I didn't get more angles, I was busy when I photographed it

This is on an old fence post. It was replaced and then has been left in an old greenhouse that's a little damp. It's appeared on some of the pieces but not all. We've no clue what kind of wood they are, and no real idea how old the wood is either. My mum reckons it's been there a few weeks at least.

We've no clue what it is, so any insight would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Came across this rather large fungus in the Bronx zoo. It appeared to be 20” in size as this picture is deceiving due to being further away on a very large tree.

I think.

It's semi spherical, hard and old brown. This on is old old.

Is it birch polyphore or similar?

Growing out of old ceiling board that has been wet, potentially rotten. Spores when touched.

It’s inside our frog’s terrarium

What is this fungus in my wooden door?

what the heck is this
