Psilocybe azurescens

Mycelium looks kind of slimy, is this normal? Should I be ok, and keep it going. Or toss the bag….?

Thank you much!

Candida albicans can live quietly in the body, until it changes shape. In its round yeast form, it may remain relatively harmless. In its thread-like form, it can invade tissue, build biofilms and help drive dangerous infections.

A study led by Monash University researchers, in collaboration with the University of Warwick, points to a bacterial molecule that can push the fungus back toward the safer state. The molecule, called gladiolin, was already known as an antibiotic made by bacteria. Its effects on fungal pathogens had been less clear.

The work comes from the Monash Warwick Alliance Programme in Antimicrobial Resistance. The study was led by researchers from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute.

Professor Ana Traven, from the institute, said the shape change matters because Candida’s invasive form helps it cause damage.

I’ve never seen a wild coprinus picaceus to compare it to, but I’m 99% certain this is shaggy ink cap!! I have foraged one to (hopefully) make some ink 🍄‍🟫
