Probably a different kind of carpet then
Ah
Just brown and bland lmao
We do have the most venomous snake in the world
The inland taipan
Along with 8 more of the 10 deadliest snakes in the world lmao
Most common venomous snake here, at least what I have found the most, are Pygmy Timber Rattlesnakes.
But fungus??
You want to know about deadly fungus?
“Just touching the Fire Coral fungus can cause dermatitis (reddening or swelling of the skin). If eaten, it causes a horrifying array of symptoms: initially stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and numbness, followed over hours or days by delamination of skin on face, hands and feet, and shrinking of the brain, which, in turn, causes altered perception, motion difficulties and speech impediments,” explained Dr Barrett.
That's one hell of a trip, mate
Sounds like a one time trip
And those are rarely worth the fare
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
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
