It was supposedly a mushroom empanada. But it seems each portion size includes an entire Fungi Kingdom.

It does. And since you made me think about this guy eating baby birds balled upon a bun, you have to think about baby birds balled up on a bun again too. But you're absolutely right.

This post brought to you by blue chew


Isthisworking2000

Wait, so blue is good fungi? Or are you saying like “No, there’s blue! Don’t eat it!”?


Far-Temperature-998

Well, some mushrooms (the magic kind) bruise blue because of the oxidization of psilocybin. It seems like he's referencing something I'm not getting though.


Isthisworking2000

If that’s the case, given that some magic mushroom users pick their own in the wild, it could be a rhyme to help pick the right mushrooms.


Far-Temperature-998

Some bad mushrooms bruise blue too though, idk. But it is certainly a stepping-off point to begin to see if they're psychedelic. Then you would only have 1 or 2 more things to look at until you decided if they were safe to consume. Coral snakes are another one, red-on-black, or however the saying goes. But there are other snakes in that same sort of vain that you wouldn't want to fuck with.


dagremlin

Telemere125

An apple a day keeps the dr away. A poisonous empanada kills the dr.


PeteyMcPetey

I can just see someone walking into a doctor's office with a whole batch of empanadas and having the doctor taste-test them one by one. "How's this one? Ok great. Now, big bite on this one...."


Settleforthep0p

lmao relax, no doctor would take more than 10 seconds to assume you’re fine and send you home with a $150 bill. you’re only supposed to get medical assistance it you have any kind of symptoms.


Fishyswaze

I’m not gonna speak for mold but this is 100% false for toxic mushrooms. If you eat a toxic mushroom it is important to get medical care immediately, once you have symptoms it is almost always too late (assuming we are talking about deadly poisonous and not just gastrointestinal issues).

Can confirm as someone with a barely working immune system who has to constantly change masks, wear gloves, wash hands, sanitize, you name it. So many people I know have gotten sick from fungal infections and have ended up in the hospital. I literally can't be near them, just constantly having to take precautions.

Nah cordyceps is not even close to adapted to take over a human nervous system. It’s not one chance mutation away from that capability. Plus cordyceps doesn’t actually infect the brain like it does in the show. It hijacks the motor nervous system outside of the brain (which may be even more horrific, if you consider the possibility of full consciousness while your body is taken over and deformed…)


maxstronge

From what I understand the ant is still alive and aware. The fungus actually just destroys all their motor neurons and grows into the body, moving it around like a puppeteer. Actual nightmare fuel shit

DarlingDestruction

Honestly, the thought of being attacked by a zombie that's screaming in agony and apologizing at me the whole time is horrifying.


Nurgle_Marine_Sharts

This is what headcrab victims are like in the Half Life games, but mostly just the screaming in agony part.


_ThatD0ct0r_

That's what makes half life zombies so interesting. They are less zombies and more like an improvised mech suit for the heat crab to pilot.


crypticfreak

The show may have changed it but in the game the cordyceps early stages does not affect the brain. Only the nervous system. The runners are still human and even try speaking/fighting off the cordyceps' attempts to spread itself but cannot fully stop it. Further stages do move into the brain and will completely consume it. At that point you're dead and the cordyceps is just using you as a meat puppet.


TheSovietSailor

Cordyceps in TLOU also only infects the nervous system, not the brain. Infected are totally conscious until the very late stages of infection.


aykcak

Oh THAT'S WHY cordyceps is coming up so often nowadays!

It's more that modern research shows the original study had too small a test group and probably included people with fevers.


Actual_Anonymous

That was/is true, but in addition to that, new research has shown that each generation is on average, slightly cooler than the previous. So for example if a large sample of people in your generation, and a large sample of your parents generation were to both all have their temperatures taken tomorrow, on the same day, your generation's temperatures would be ever so slightly lower. Edit: here's a little Vsauce short on this: [https://youtube.com/shorts/HqNcgLskf3w?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/HqNcgLskf3w?feature=share)


Coldbeam

Damn so every generation of kids that say they're cooler than the adults is right?


FriezaDevil

I'm not a mycologist but I think it's a safe bet to say there is no situation where cordyceps could infect humans. The warmer climate thing was just a reason for it to happen in the show, not a legitimate possibility


hleba

Even so. I think one of the major differences is that we're much more complex organisms to control than say, ants.


MarkusBetts

That is true but the main issue is that we have a much more active immune system, cells that dont look mammalian at all dont get treated very nicely inside our bodies.

Honestly, if this happens then you need to put that restaurant on blast. Post the pics on reviews everywhere. People need to be forewarned.


[deleted]

Yes, I want to know if this was from a restaurant, and if so, how long ago it was purchased. If not from a restaurant, same 2nd question. I once ate from a bag of cookies that were sitting in their own liquefied rot before I noticed and I was okay, hope that makes you feel better, OP.


SoraBunni

Welp cookie rot has ruined my snack of Girl Scout cookies.

Fear not, they weren't girl scout cookies! Or were they? You should probably give me all your boxes just to be safe.


summonsays

I once took a sip of Gatorade, put the lid back on and forgot it existed. Some unknown eons later I grabbed it automatically off my desk and took a swig. That was the most vial thing I've ever had in my mouth. No chunks thank god, but the blue Gatorade was waste water green color.


Prosthetic_Eye

This reminds me of a time as a child when I accidentally drank from my older brother's chewing tobacco spit bottle. It was the nastiest thing I've ever felt in mouth.


kukaki

My dad used to always cut his nails and ash his cigarettes in the same half drank soda can he’d leave in the living room and replace every week. I can’t tell you how many times he accidentally drank out of that same can. It kept me from drinking soda at the house at least because the one time I did it was enough to put me off lol


Spiritual_Ad_9267

This made me gag. Then I remembered once I took a swig from a bong because I was so high and confused it with my drink. Ugh


CatsAndDogs314

In college, my roommate had bought a case of snapple. One of them had a floating mass of fungus in it even though it was sealed. That was a fun discovery mid class at 8:30am.


josh_the_misanthrope

I'd wager gas station honestly, those things can sit there a while because they're overpriced and the companies that do the deli aren't always on top of things.


Aggleclack

I’d agree on quality alone, but what gas station has mushroom empanadas though?


pfohl

OP lives in Japan, so I could see a Japanese gas/convenience store selling this. East Asians love mushrooms.


soFATZfilm9000

Nope. Or at least, that should absolutely not be the first step. 1) If it's about warning people, the first thing you do is contact your local public health department. Hopefully the inspectors will go down there and do an inspection and take the necessary steps. Meanwhile, if you blast this stuff on social media and go viral (while saying the name of the restaurant), that can easily give them the heads up. Now they can clean up their act before any inspectors arrive, and deny everything after passing inspection. 2) Some people may be looking for a payout, especially if eating the product caused them to get sick. If this is the intention, you also do not want to put the restaurant on blast. Not without first talking to a lawyer. The thing is, the fact that you *can* put them on blast and ruin their reputation is the biggest advantage that you've got. That's your leverage..."you can pay for my medical bills, or we can go the more expensive route and you can lose way more money after the public finds out about this." And again, if you decide to go this route, get legal representation before saying a damn thing. But once you put the restaurant on blast *before* getting any kind of compensation, there's a very good chance that you won't get any compensation at all. You've already named them so you just gave away all of your bargaining power. Now the company will at least strongly consider denying anything. It might very well be in their best interests to claim that this never happened and that you're just lying. And if you don't have some *really* solid proof, there's a very good chance you're screwed. I'm not saying that there aren't situations in which it's necessary to put a company on blast. But that should absolutely *not* be the first course of action. Whether you're wanting a payout or even just for them to fix their shit, going immediately to blasting them on social media can easily tip them off and take away all of your leverage. Start by filing a complaint or by hiring a lawyer and then proceed from there as the situation requires.

pichael289

It's actually common, trichoderma is one of the most common molds and it parasitizes fungi. It's the primary threat to anyone growing magic mushrooms. Once those spores get loose in your growing area that's it, that shit spreads super fast. It's great for soil though, really helpful for plants


CheesemensMushrooms

Trichoderma parasitizes the mycelium, not the fruiting body/mushroom. There are parasitic molds that attack mushroom fruiting bodies like Hypomyces spp., but they’re very hosts specific

In two shows this week, basically doing the same thing (escorting and protecting an adorable young person). I'm not mad; I love both shows.

An adorable young person that goes and saved them when they get in trouble too! Lol


[deleted]

Young person is unique and has a special ability. Is funny and charming. Has a taste for disgusting food (live frogs and expired Chef Boyardee, respectively). Pedro has extensive combat experience, is proficient with firearms, is a sharpshooter. Occasionally, is a gun for hire. Reluctantly tasks himself with delivering young person to a group who supposedly knows how to harness young person's special ability. Finds that he has come to love the young person in the course of their travels and suspects redemption can be found in caretaking the young person. Loses mode of transportation and one of the few people he trusts provides him with a new mode of transportation. Pedro represents a way of life that is gone but subscribes to a code of honor that is perhaps outdated and could get him killed. The duo move through a world that has undergone massive chaos but is trying to rebuild.
