I discovered this in my apartment this evening. I don't know how long it's been there. When I first saw it I thought, "Aw man, that little springy doorstop thingy is all bent outta shape." Then I realized, wait a minute, there isn't a door for miles around here.
I'd kinda like to leave it alone and let it grow, just because I think it's kinda neat. But should I be worried about spores? I do have pretty nasty allergies. And I don't know if I want a whole patch of 'em growing wild. Has anyone *else* had experience growing mushrooms in their carpet?
Maybe I should call the KTRH garden line about this one...

Well, I never had one in my carpet, but I had one in myu car once. If I were you I would kill the nasty little thing. Because Where there is one there will be more. Esp. if you have allergies. If it is near a bathroom or sdomething I would make sure that I did not have a water leak or something. Cuz' it has to be wet where mushrooms grow. Then I would have my carpet cleaned so that it did not happen again....bleh...

THE LITTLE TOADSTOOL PART OF THE MUSHROOM CAN POP UP OVERNIGHT BUT EVEN IF YOU PLUCK THE F*CKER, YOU WON'T BE GETTING RIT OF IT. THERE'S LITTLE HAIRLIKE "ROOTS" THAT ARE THE MAIN PART OF THE PLANT AND THEY LIVE VIRTUALLY FOREVER. YOU GOT A WATER LEAK OF SOME SORT MY FRIEND. YOU NEED TO HAVE MAINTENENCE COME AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND MAYBE YOU CAN EVEN GET SOME NEW CARPET OUT OF THEM. ONCE A CARPET PAD GETS REALLY SOAKED LIKE THAT YOU ARE GONNA HAVE MOLD AND MILDEW FOREVER UNLESS YOU RIP IT ALL OUT, SPRAY THE CONCRETE WITH CHLOROX, LET IT DRY AND PUT ALL NEW PAD & CARPET BACK. YES, YOU WILL HAVE ALLERGY PROBLEMS FROM THIS. (P.S. PARDON THE CAPS, I HAD CAPS LOCK ON AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE RETYPING)

SCREAMING SCREAMING ALWAYS SCREAMING!! :-)
Looks like you're screwed, pal. Time to move. Of course, those little hairlike rootlets have probably already invaded your clothing, so even that's probably too late.
Time to strip off your clothes and live in the carport. At least until winter...

It's a sign.
Look closely, and one part of the sprout looks like Mother Teresa's genitalia.

So *that's* why all these horny leper pilgrims have been stopping by...

Irrefutable prove in reincarnation I dare say. Now, won't you feel bad plucking and stomping the thing? After all, this is Mother Theresa we're talking about.

Actually it was rather horrific. Jaka and I came downstairs to go out and smoke a ciggarette, turned on a light and noticed that Mycroft's bed was a little more mobile than usual. Frankly we were wondering how they managed to lay down the scent trails...
