How Long Ago Did You Stop Cleaning?
April 23, 2008 - 906 views
I’m not a big fan of cleaning as most of us, but I can’t tell when it’s time to do it. I have seen my share of uncleaned houses but this tops them all. How many days did they stop cleaning to let this thing happen?

OMG. This beats my 2 weeks of not doing dishes back in college, I had some wildlife growing there, but it wasn’t all that well developed.
Reminds me of the mushrooms we had growing behind our toilet in my second year of university. Who ever decided that a bathroom didn’t require a window is a fucktard.
So did you eat the mushrooms?
We never used to clean the grill when I was at uni. We’d cook stuff like sausages or bacon, and the next person who used the grill tended to just put another layer of tin foil over the existing mess.
It was vile. And then one of my housemates dropped the grill when it was hot, and all this liquid animal fat went all over the kitchen floor: it turned into a kind of gross ice-rink.
Mind you, some mushrooms can grow within 24 hours, the rest of the stuff looks fairly clean.
its part of indoor gardening project …
come on … i’ve seen worse rooms that this …
without any vegetation … hehe …
or wildlife …
mushrooms dont actually “grow” within 24 hours. it takes a number of weeks for the spores to develop. then the mushrooms pop up over night when the spores are fully matured.
the rest of the stuff does look clean though, probably dropped something in that crack and missed a spot (or missed the whole floor) for a few weeks .
Mushrooms love dead wood pulp (what goes into cheap fiber boards like that).
Bathrooms are a very suitable growing environment. Dark most of the time, and frequently moist.
I’m not surprised at all. It’s a bit funny, I guess, but those could appear in a day or two. Also, expect more now that those have shed their spores.
did this person grow pschedelic mushrooms, they look like liberty caps
Shrooms!!! \o/
Other than the mushrooms, that bathroom doesn’t even look that messy
This isn’t about not cleaning - it’s water damage that’s gotten so bad that the mushrooms are growing out of the decaying floorboards. The raised linoleum is the clue. The damage could be week or years in the making. Once it hits a critical point the mushrooms could come up in days.
Nothing short of pulling up the floor and replacing it will likely prevent this from happening again.
sweet, my apartment is on its way to looking like that.
The obviously have a leak.
It really isn’t all that uncommon.
In Florida and other high humidity states it is very common to see mushrooms all over the place in houses. When we lived in Fort Lauderdale, we had to clean out my daughters rooms floorboards three times due to mushroom growth identical to this. One day there wasn’t anything, then we would come back from a weekend out somewhere and look in her room like WTF?!
High humidity outside (plus permeated into wood) A/C or Heater inside (relatively dry air) = optimal growth condition for mushrooms like this.
Given that this is in a bathroom, it makes sense. Shower provides the humidty (which saturates the wood), minutes later the dry air from a heater (winter) or A/C unit (summer) drys out the air but still leaves enough moisture in the wood to allow fungus to grow. 99% of the time its harmless if caught and contained early enough.
Agree with the above poster.
This isn’t a cleanliness issue, the shrooms are obviously growing from under the floor, a place impossible to clean w/o tearing up the entire bathroom floor which is not an easy task.
This is almost akin to saying the freeway/streets are dirty because grass is growing through cracks in the concrete.
Nice. I wonder how long those took to grow.
one word…………….. GROSS!!!
OMG..I just barfed a little. I hate cleaning, but oh man, that’s so gross!
PHOTOSHOPPED.
I agree with the rational explanations above but could someone comment on the black sooty spray pattern associated with the ’shrooms? That’s a new one on me.
Sharman, that sooty spray is the spores of the mushrooms. They’re the equivalent of seeds that plants give off. They’re just so tiny they look like a fine powder. Most people who are alergic to mold and fungus actually react to the spores.
