I had mushrooms growing from between the bathtub and tile for the last year. The bathroom had an in-wall leak a couple of years ago. My homeowner insurance covered opening the walls and checking for mold, they found none. The mushrooms continued to appear. Because this is a rental property, I had the walls around the tub removed but found no sign of mold or dry rot. Now I have a new bathroom and peace of mind that I won't be sued. |

I have a mushroom looking thing growing between the cement near the step to my front door. Its creepy looking. It looks like a tan marshmellow. The inside is dark brown. I think I will try to get the TKO. Any suggestions? |
| |
Um, looks like that didn't turn out well. I'm not going to go out of my way to try and fix it now. |
| |
I can see what ways both of these arguments are going. The idea would certainly help in some cases, but as they are still they would need more work. Here is something needed to make this idea work:

Where a line shifts over and one turns. Also these (crossings)
`|| |a| `| |
-++- |n| -+-+-
`|| |d| -+-+-
`___ |_| `| |
In all the cases above the .'s and `'s do not represent anything.
I do see the points that both of you are making, and do actually agree with both of you. |

I found a mushroom sprouting along the linoleum from the corner of our bathroom floor this morning. It just about scared the s*** out of me because at first glance I thought is was a mouse or something. We live in military housing and - just like renting - there's only so much we can do. Personally, I'd already have somebody set to come in and rip open the wall. Our two bathrooms are back to back and this is the shared wall. I swear the rot must go all the way around the shower in the master bath. I've had to call maintenance out in there a couple of times due to the opposite wall giving way under my hand, right next to the shower. All they did was patch it up with caulk. They did the same thing with this - removed the mushroom and caulked the seams. I think we're going to have to pay for an independent mold inspector and then walk into the housing office with the report before anything worthwhile actually gets done. I hate to imagine what I know must be growing back there. |

So if you tried replacing the center square there with a standard vertical wire, the circuit wouldn't work. That rather limits the appeal of those things. |
| |
this is to "compress" the wires. instead of using 2 lines of wires, you can use just 1 line for 2 wires!
Now see this image:

this explains a lot! |

I'm sorry to put a damper on your hopes. But anything below 2000 will significantly hurt your chances to a top-tier college.
I was surprised to see so many people receiving low scores in the 1200-1400 range. A high GPA won't save those low scores, especially with less-than-extraordinary extracurricular activities. I received an 1850 without studying. Not good, but slightly above average.
And also, volunteer work is hardly a good E.C. It's not distinguishing enough for top-tier schools. Try winning an Intel Science Competition, interning, or conducting your own research project and publishing it in a scholarly journal. To those who hold leadership positions, congrats! Great job!
@Anonymite Good luck with NYU, I think you'll make it! My plan is to transfer to an Ivy League in my sophomore year (b/c I have almost no chance right now) |

Those don't line up with the graphics for the existing wires, and what would the point of the "=" tile be? |

I did some art for the 2-way wires. but you'll need to do the rest by yourself. |

You should put a 2-way wire (like the equal (=) sign)
I'll do some art for it... |

Well I must be in good company to find so many excellent people with like mushroom issues. Ours are in our laundry room behind the washer. They are a light beige ruffle looking mushroom.
I first noticed some dark spots on the wall beside the washer and pulled it out to see what it was. The spots went back and around the corner to behind the washer. The mushrooms, however, were under the dryer electrical outlet. I think that is odd, but I'm just an observer.
I am surprised to see how many people have opted to used bleach. In my research I saw several warnings saying "do not used bleach". None ever said why but I choose to error on the side of caution and am not using bleach. I chose to use white vinegar because I already had a full bottle handy in my pantry.
The white vinegar is doing ok in containing the spots til our contractor neighbor can get over in a couple days to take care of the problem. We've decided to pull off the moldy wall board, find and fix the source of the leak and replace the washer spickets while we're at it (they're old and not the proper ones for a laundry hookup anyway. Some previous owner's bad idea).
If this sounds expensive to you, I quite disagree because we're not rich and can't afford to waste money. We prefer to get it done right the first time and not have it eating the inside of our walls up and popping up in other rooms. We really don't want it becoming a major remodel down the road.
Good luck to those of you who have opted for that "if I wait long enough it'll go away" method. That's probably why some of your homes/apts are falling down, because someone before you opted for that method and now you've got major health and safety problems.
Sorry for your losses. Hope you all the best. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I have mushrooms growing form the ceiling. What happened was my neighbor upstairs clogged the toilet because she is a obese piggy who can not fathom to flush in between her monster craps. The flooding got so bad one night that toilet water started seeping down the walls, from the interior of my adjacent bathroom wall. I was furious enough to find her problems dripping down my bathroom walls. Now I find a jungle of mushrooms grown from above and poking ceiling holes.
The landlord is a cheap slut who is afraid of using home insurance to fix this mess because she is only thinking about her resale value going down. She hired a undocumented handy man to replace the bathroom ceiling instead of correcting the problem. Im so fed up that I just want something done, and went along with it. When the ceiling came down there was visible evidence of a mushroom community thriving in between the dry wall. Now the bathroom is fixed cosmetically but I know the real story behind the new shiny white egg gloss bathroom ceiling.
Beware of renting apartments that are old for they will most likely have these kind of mycelium rot damage in areas of dampness. This also goes out to purchasing old homes. |

I do like it. Especially the layering. The "cover" art is also good.

It is about 3 in. tall and white and then all of a sudden it just bursts into a black mess.... Very Creepy and kind of scary.... can not seem to find a pic on line that looks anything like this.... We have a 10yr old and I know this can be a serious health issue... It is only in My Master Bathroom ,and only by the toilet, but Why ???? No leaks... No dampness ....
Has anyone any idea what this could be ????
Looking for any info....

So,it is very nice to know that were not alone in this.Our home is old & that worries me,but unfortunatley we cant afford anything else at the time & since the home was given to me by my grandmother,were gunna stay.We have been trying to fix the place up,but dont have much money to do so.But,I will try my best to take the linoleum rug up & spray with bleach and let it dry out.....I hope it helps,lol.Until then I guess I will have to just keep spraying & gettin the little boogers up,LOL! |

Well, for a thread started in 2003, this one sure has legs! Google offered it as 3rd choice for the search terms Bathroom Mushroom - not bad going Tom!
and yes, I came here because I found one - a hyowj bugger. I'm doing up the bathroom and I pulled off the ancient bath panel ... and there it was, a great big brown mushroom.
not nice, not nice at all :( |

Hooray for random numbers on the interwebz.
2050 SAT - single sitting (retake?)
760 U.S. History
740 Biology M
800 Math 2c
4.3 GPA weighted
I'm definitely not applying to any ivies, there are too many insane applicants that are 15x better than me. The most selective school that i'm applying to is Johns Hopkins University. I hope my SAT I won't keep me out. Other schools that I'm applying to include UC's, Georgia Tech and NYU. Anyways, good luck class of 2012, and why am i posting here again?
