Apparently fungus mostly grows as a network under the ground, usually.
Ones like magic mushrooms, anyway (Not sure about the ones in houses -- I suppose that one is growing into the plywood / fibrous rotting wood).
Like a dense network of roots or tubers.
And the magic mushrooms are only the fruiting body portion. But there are supposed to be really really really large networks of these root / tubery things under the ground.
I'm interested in how that grows in the body.
Sounds like it can grow a bit like that in the lungs. So it isn't free-living in the blood in the form of spores from the fruiting body. There aren't fruiting bodies. But the network of roots / tubers...
But they feed by exuding hydrolytic enzymes and dissolving things...
I don't know that they would grow inside the body...
I don't know...
Do you guys remember that a while back they found a guy in England who was fermenting alcohol in his gut / colon? I don't remember how the beer brewing bacteria got in there.... There was some story or something...
Point is his blood alcohol was raised from the fermentation that was happening in his colon.
I don't think mushrooms would do that, though, because of the fruiting body part. That's the part with the psychoactive effect. But it wasn't like they were finding actual mushrooms growing inside him. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been...
Contaminated laboratory sample?
Could be...
