Thank you for the fungipost friend

God imagine the smell

@Maggie The Magpie I have had many personal encounters with fire coral

It’s not fun.

Can’t imagine the fungus is much different seeing it’s named after the coral

You know, the pain, not the other effects if it was eaten

I love mycellium aye

Very interesting organisms

@Deleted User so you've touched it before?

Not the fungus, but the actual coral, yes.

What's fire coral like?

Anywhere from 4-6 times

A burning sensation from wherever you had contact with it, akin to that of a wasp sting

Ouch

Lasts upwards of 4 hours in my experience

I think the fungus can kill you if you touch it

Fucken ouch

Nothing really helps except lidocaine if you’re lucky enough to have that

No, sorry. Only got cocaine

I go snorkeling a lot and that’s how I have dealt with it so much

It hides in Mangrove trees man

I used to go spear fishing, never seen coral in my life lmao

Hey, I live near mangroves

I don’t

Basically where the bush meets the mangroves anyway

I wish I did lol

Mozzies are bad

Mozzies?

Mosquitoes

Aussies have slang for most anything

Oh

Mosquitoes are bad

I have tons of scars from mosquito bites as a kid

All over my legs

Don't scratch!

Rub lightly with your fingertips

Old tip I received as a lad

Well it’s too late for that, when I was young I didn’t really care
