- Kronich, on 11/21/2008, -0/+81Doing mushies in space - now that would be a trip ;-)
- SSPink, on 11/22/2008, -0/+50According to Aleksandr Sprin with the Russian mission control:
"If there’s not enough ventilation in the bathroom then, because it’s damp, the bacteria grows into a fungus."
No it doesn't. And just in case he was wondering, if left alone the fungus will not grow into a mammal. - inactive, on 11/21/2008, -3/+38Somebody told me magic mushrooms come from space. After a few experiences with psilocybin, I must say I agree.
- jggube, on 11/22/2008, -0/+24I would freak the f**k out.
- inactive, on 11/22/2008, -0/+22I told you guys not to launch Timothy Leary's ashes into space. Now look what's happened!
- mishaneah, on 11/22/2008, -0/+20Get me out of here! BAD TRIP! BAD TRIP!
- isayre020888, on 11/22/2008, -0/+19Reminds me of Cowboy Bebop.
- lars5, on 11/22/2008, -2/+19no badgers?
- Lorddias, on 11/22/2008, -0/+17No pix of the shrooms? I'm disappointed.
- tallguyg, on 11/22/2008, -1/+17Did anyone else read the title like, "Mushrooooms in SPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!"
- virtualonliner, on 11/22/2008, -0/+15First a missing spider, now mushrooms out of nowhere! Only logical conclusion seems to be spider transformed into mushroom.

- DeathJux, on 11/22/2008, -0/+13Remind me to never do mushrooms with you.
- AmyVernon, on 11/22/2008, -0/+13Yes.
- rushiku, on 11/22/2008, -0/+13spore = спора != bacteria =
бактерии
and your point is? - isayre020888, on 11/22/2008, -1/+13AH! A SNAKE! IT'S A SNAAAAKE!
- flipdoubt, on 11/22/2008, -0/+8Terence McKenna speculated that mushrooms were perhaps "alien" life forms themselves, observing that spores may be well suited for space travel. I've always thought fungus to be somewhat other-worldly... from the way mycelium propagates, to the strange fruits (i.e. mushrooms) it produces, and of course, that's not to mention the boundary dissolving effects of the many psychoactive strains. Weird, curious little life-forms if you ask me.
- DeathJux, on 11/22/2008, -1/+9I, for one, welcome our new spider-mushroom overlords.
- Mpwns, on 11/21/2008, -1/+9sign me up.
- inactive, on 11/21/2008, -2/+10dead space!!
- doublefelix, on 11/22/2008, -2/+9Have they found that spider that escaped from the experiment yet? Maybe he's behind this.
- crkatana, on 11/22/2008, -0/+7there's a fungus amoung us
- Dr3w, on 11/22/2008, -0/+7Mushroom Samba, one of my favorite episodes.
- Stonekeeper, on 11/22/2008, -0/+7that astronaut sounds like a fun guy
- MrRedneck, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6Boldly going where no mushroom has gone before? This is pretty cool..
- TheOneTrueGod, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6No, it works like this:
There is a feedback-loop in your head. Stuff that comes from the outside (ears, eyes etc.) is fed into the loop, and the loop itself gets filtered to reduce redundancies/similarities.
If you use psilocybin/psilocin, the feedback-filter opens and stuff that usually get filtered out stays in the loop, becomes amplified *in your head* (not in reality) by perceiving it. That's why colors begin to glow more intensely.
You might have the impression that this happens in reality, but that is only your share of the reality of the Universe. Once you have come down (and spent a few months, I guess) you will have landed in the midst of the other spirits and that which you thought was in outer reality will have revealed itself to have been just in your perspective of the objective reality that we live in.
Because the whole Universe is one thing, shutting down the filters of perception (which is both a good as well as a dangerous thing to do) opens your mental perception to the oneness that the world is. No need for the mushroom to come from outer space. - BenBenMan, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6They'd had it with those *****' snakes, in this *****' space station
- dispatched, on 11/22/2008, -1/+7I for one welcome our new Fungi overlords.
- benroy, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6Why would anyone remove or destroy the mushrooms? Isn't the point and purpose of an orbital space station to examine how chemicals, plants, animals, etc. behave in a near-zero environment? Why destroy the 'shrooms? Seems to me that they should be studied and documented and subjected to the same degree of rigorous experimentation as any other 'experiment' that would take place in such an environment.
Or just slice 'em up, sautee` them and put them on a nice porterhouse steak*.
*dehydrated steak of course. like the ones the serve at outback steakhouse. - seibed, on 11/22/2008, -3/+9is that him talking, or it his translator?
Do you know the word for 'spore' in Russian? I thought not. - ragez, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6awesome. life breeds wherever it can.

- emyo, on 11/22/2008, -2/+6pics or it didnt happen

"dude... we're floating. it's like we're in space!"
"dude, man. we ARE in space!"
"woah. hey man, check out the Earth! it's so small! it's like i can reach out and touch it!"
"haha... yyeeeaahhh."
and they all went in a chorus of "we've got the whole world in our hands" for the next hour. - TheOneTrueGod, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4To everyone: Read before tripping.
http://www.erowid.org/
Now, happy tripping! - UnarmedHippo, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4i totally thought this article was going to be about tripping balls in space. holy ***** imagine staring at the earth on mushrooms
- chlyon, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4In other news today the international space agency has no explanation for why cosmonaut Olga Grericty and Slav noanameavic opened the air locks to the international space station . Unconfirmed sources say the cosmonauts bodies where found naked.
- arid, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4"...the bacteria grows into a fungus." This doesn't make sense.
- LawnMowerKitten, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3Malcolm was right:
"Life.... finds a way." - inactive, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3Me too.
- suo97119, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3News Flash: No gravity in space debunked as "astronauts grilling on mushrooms."
- OutlawSundown, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3 Magic space mushrooms... if you think your in orbit now wait until you try these.
- palehorse864, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3*Hic* *Hic* *Woah!*
- TwwIX, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3Sounds like a title for a 50's b-movie.

- dn11, on 11/22/2008, -0/+3the ISS sounds ***** disgusting. not toilets, random fugal growth. I bet it smells horrible in there.
- DarrylWatts, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Are they mushrooms that grew from spores that were carried aboard from earth? Or are they some sort of space spore that were carried aboard from a recent space-walk? What type of fungus is it? And can spores stay dormant in a non-oxygen environment?
- Chjoma10, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2you're already there
- Metasquares, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Well, maybe over billions of years...
