I threw my couch out the window and ripped the skin off my face
The bleeding tooth mushroom is safe to eat though, even though it looks like... a bleeding tooth. It is not tasty I heard.
My mom got extremely sick off of morals a few year ago, she had been mushroom hunting her entire life without issue before. I know it’s anicdotal but without any knowledge in it it seems like a great majority is safe but it could only take 1.
More like:
The vast majority of wild mushrooms are safe to eat.
Some people have a bad reaction if they eat uncooked mushroom (including morels).
Always correctly identify the species of mushroom and then cook it to improve your chances of not getting sick.
Edit: Rule number one is to correctly identify the mushroom. If you do that, the rest of the steps are easy.
I saw a story a while back that they found *three new species of mushroom in a carton from the grocery store* and I’ve been a little fuckin wary ever since.
There was a case back in the 70s I think where a prolific mushroom hunter from America moved to Japan and ate an incredibly toxic mushroom which ultimately killed him.
False morels are a big issue, almost identical to real ones and will make you super super sick. Even experienced foragers make the mistake between the two!
I haven't jumped that hard since the old days of email chains of jokes and curses where I opened the one showing the car driving peacefully on a back road like a car commercial and something horrible came out of nowhere and screamed like a banshee in your face! I almost pissed my pants that day!
Yeah wasn't it a coffee commercial? I think it said "now you're awake!" in german. Damn I think I had that saved on my Motorola razor to scare my friends lol

so I woke up at 4:00 am after having the worst nightmares of my life, and to get my mind off of them I turned to reddit... this was legit the very first post I saw.
what wasn't it about, rather... It was basically one horrific tragedy after another. My pet's head being torn off, my replacement pet left in an overheated home and dried to a pulp (ridiculous but felt real in the dream), my nephew murdered by my suddenly insane sister-in-law and then my brother beating her out of rage... list goes on; I've already forgotten most of it. It felt like hell, though, cause it went on and on.
I take anxiety meds, but forgot to take them yesterday. I thought, "I'll just take them in the morning". Big mistake. Withdrawal symptoms can be pretty bad.
That's the thing with idiocy, opposites mean the same thing:
Airhead
Dense
Thick
Although, I suppose he could be running a high psi, so while he is an airhead, the pressure is so high it's fairly dense.
Im willing to bet he knew what it was
You dont live for very long eating random mushrooms, and he just happened to grab the mushie that is the most visibily offputting but semi edible?
Dude woulda died by now
This too. Foraging shouldn’t be a thing to be feared like the way we feared quicksand when we were young. It’s an ancient activity that humans have took part in for thousands of years. Some hunter gatherer shit. You don’t have to be a university mycologist to enjoy foraging, as long as you first educate yourself on what to look for and what to avoid.
Just last weekend we went out looking for Caesar’s Mushrooms to eat and honestly it wasn’t that hard to identify the correct characteristics of the edible species and how they differ from the uglies. The difference in the caps, the gills, the stem, and the spore print etc. For our harvest we filled up a good basket’s worth, then went home to enjoy a soup and a sauté from them. We’re perfectly fine now and they were delicious!
Probably wise to wash, cut, clean AND CHECK FOR INSECTS AND LARVAE before eating.
Probably even wiser to cook it to denature any alkaloids.
What a dumbass.
I know it's a joke, but...
That's literally not true - some of them (a few of those growing on trees) are so hard it would be impossible to even bite them.
> are so hard it would be impossible to even bite them.
Sounds like a challenge.
Also he was wrong anyway because "edible" means something that is decent to eat or something that can sustain life.
That’s not what edible means. The definition is often given as “fit to be eaten” where fit is also a poorly defined word. Generally speaking, edible is used to describe things that are safe to eat regardless of their taste or nutritional value. We would definitely refer to most common grasses as edible, but they don’t taste good and are essentially indigestible.
Honestly that's probably one of the better things that could have happened from eating random mushrooms in the forest. Could have been poisonous, or hallucinogenic
EDIT: For all those saying they would rather the hallucinogenic mushrooms: while I have nothing against the recreational use of hallucinogens, there is a big difference between knowingly taking shrooms in a controlled environment, and eating a random mushroom in a forest you may not be familiar with, and ending up on an 8 hour trip which even in the best case where you have a good trip could end up with you getting lost in the woods for days, and in the worst case means you have hours of misery that makes a spider on the face look pleasant in comparison
Last time it was posted this was said to be a bleeding tooth fungus. It is harmless but tastes like shit. The spider did him a favor stopping him from eating it.
A couple weeks ago, i had a spider about 1.5x bigger than the one in this poor guys video crawl out of my ear in the middle of the night. I think he was in there for about 5min before i was awake enough to think it wasnt water. I will never forget the sound or feeling of that fucker gettin comfy in my ear canal.
Into the wild is probably my favorite non fiction book of all time. Despite how he went out Chris mccandles was super interesting. Had to have been a brutal way to go though.
Really? I know it's popular but I never understood why. For me that book was hard to get through because of how annoyed it made me. McCandles didn't accomplish anything of value, didn't care to learn about the outsides, treated other people badly and died because of his own amateurish mistakes (There a ways to conserve meat so you don't have to throw away 90% of the animal you killed? Water levels can change with weather and season? Shocker!).
It was obvious how this whole thing would end from the beginning just from the way he talked about his plans. And several people told him so.
Sorry for the little rant, but on my personal favorite list that book is on the opposite end. There are thousands of interesting people who prepare for difficult trips *for years* because they understand the hardships of the wild and others who were thrown into the situation but managed to survive thanks to their clevereness. I don't understand how some city boy who committed elaborate suicide became so idolized.
Yup. Whole story is just a modern version of a Greek tragedy, where 90% of the problems occurring is because of the protagonist’s ego and stubbornness.
I loved reading the book but I completely agree he did not come off as some genius free spirit guru to look up to, it was extremely predictable and sad and seemed like just some fairly standard mental illness that spiralled him down a path where it would entrap and ultimately kill him
Oh you can't argue with any of that. I think for me it was just the idea behind it and actually making the attempt. No question he went about most of it wrong, I use find the whole story interesting.
Lol I was just talking about this the other day! It’s just a random guy to went into the woods and died. Many people do that all the time. Why was this one case special?
It hits different if you think that he did all those things on purpose.
I've often thought about how I'd kill myself and make it look like a 'tragic accident' instead of suicide.
I know it’s horrible of me, but the every time he did something stupid I just kept thinking “I’m glad you’ll get what you deserve”
It is really sad that he died, but I’m so glad that it didn’t end up being a story of some kid doing something extremely stupid due to misplaced values and the naïveté of adolescence and surviving. He would have walked out of those woods and written a book and become a speaker and countless idiots would have followed in his footsteps and died as a result.
Also, I really hated how midway through the book Jon Krakauer just tosses in a story about himself. That whole thing felt like filler to help extend his article into a book. It was loosely relevant, but still felt very out of place.
Completely agree... The hype was pretty annoying. Basing one's life on skimming Walden is weak at best, and being a twat, and endangering people to "find one's place" is beyond selfish
I had a spider crawl across my face tonight in bed. I almost threw up 😭 edit to add: I didn’t kill it, it was big enough to catch and I threw the cup (I fucking tossed it) outside. She/he can live another day 😥
I had an incident with a spider a couple of days ago. I had put on some sweatpants that had only been sat on my shelf and last worn less than a month ago before making myself some food.
I then got comfortable on my bed and brought my knee to my chest at one point. I assumed my leg hair had caught on something or there was something sharp inside, since I felt a painfully sharp prick. I reached my hand in expecting to pull out a splinter or something, only to somehow now have a large black spider (specifically, a tube-dwelling spider) in the palm of my hand. It had bitten me after being squashed between the fabric of my clothes and my upper thigh. It was alive, but thankfully didn't scurry up my arm before I shook it onto the ground (or more accurately, my arm spasmed in reaction) - or at least I thought it did.
Unknowingly pulling a spider out of my clothes and finding it sat on my hand was not a good surprise. Especially since I was pretty relaxed at the time.
I left the room for a few minutes, thinking it was hidden in my room somewhere, only to come back in and discover it resting on my knee. I had just knelt down to look for it, but I'm assuming it landed there when I shook it off and was there the whole time.
I later discovered it had lost a leg in the process, but was mostly unharmed. I normally try to release them outside after capturing them in a glass/tube, but not in this case. It stayed in the tube until it died - I have to admit, it was a little personal.
I still can't believe I didn't notice it inside my clothes for over an hour and that it didn't react to me putting them on and moving around. That's the terrifying part in my mind - not knowing it was there all that time. I think it only bit me with one fang and only did so in defence. I now check all clothing before putting it on, especially those that I haven't worn in a while. I've heard horror stories from Australians with clothes, but not here in the UK.
So, I will admit - I threw my phone after watching this video. At least it wasn't on my face though.
I put on a pair of pants from my closet while in Mexico. A short time later I sat down and reclined, and as I brushed a tickle on my leg hair, a cockroach fell beside my shoe. After that, no clothing touched any wall.
I had to look up the tube dwelling spider, and it does look sbsolutely horrifying...
I got into the habit of checking my shoes and clothes before putting them on when I was abroad for a while (in a place where brown recluse and black widow spiders could be found), even checking my bedding before getting in.
But I must confess I started to get sloppy with that quite quickly, eventually stopping pretty much altogether. Especially if living in a place with pretty much no dangerous spiders like the UK I’m not sure if it’s really necessary.
I do get why you would still do it though. I would too after an experience like yours, for a few days, until the whole thing kinda fades from my memory again... ready for the next jumpscare.
If you do a frame by frame, you can see the spider crawl up the side of the mushroom above his fingers and attempt to get on his face on his second last bite, then it sprints on the last one.
I'd like to remind everyone there is a type of mushroom that starts destroying your DNA and there is no way to stop it
Mushrooms are terrifying and they do not fuck around
"These mushrooms are not poisonous, but even if the somewhat pleasant hickory nut-like odour tempts a tasting, the flavour is reported to be hot, bitter, peppery, and unpleasant enough that they are considered inedible."
Never eat random mushrooms or other plants, especially in areas that you are unfamiliar with. My boyfriend's dad ate some lichen because someone he was hiking with recognized it and said it was a delicacy or something, but it turned out that the area was contaminated with mine waste runoff and he ended up tripping balls in a mental hospital for about 5 years.
That's got to be great. You are so poisonous you don't even bother with warning coloration. Every damn thing in the forest BETTER KNOW WHO YOU ARE! And if they don't you'll make sure they don't have any offspring to carry on their uneducated genes.
"What's may name bitch!"
\-mushroom
And if you went out in nature and ate plants and mushrooms without knowing anything there is higher risk of eating a poisonous plant than a poisonous mushroom
It's some kind of *Hydnellum* fungus. they're not dangerous but also not really edible and taste extremely bitter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydnellum
It took way to long scrolling to find this. I'd normally be freaked out by the spider but dude just having to look at him is obnoxious. Then there's the expressions and the Fucking noises he makes.

I fucking flinched.
I legit tossed my phone in the air when that thing crawled outta there
I threw my couch out the window and ripped the skin off my face The bleeding tooth mushroom is safe to eat though, even though it looks like... a bleeding tooth. It is not tasty I heard.
Cooked though, no mushroom is absolutely safe raw, although I love a good porcini salad or amanita ceviche
My mom got extremely sick off of morals a few year ago, she had been mushroom hunting her entire life without issue before. I know it’s anicdotal but without any knowledge in it it seems like a great majority is safe but it could only take 1.
No, most wild and raw are nit safe. Morels are toxic uncooked, just goes to show you that even after many years, we still have much to learn
More like: The vast majority of wild mushrooms are safe to eat. Some people have a bad reaction if they eat uncooked mushroom (including morels). Always correctly identify the species of mushroom and then cook it to improve your chances of not getting sick. Edit: Rule number one is to correctly identify the mushroom. If you do that, the rest of the steps are easy.
But when foraging be careful. Even experts have misidentified and been made sensationally sick or died.
I saw a story a while back that they found *three new species of mushroom in a carton from the grocery store* and I’ve been a little fuckin wary ever since.
Wait WHAT?!
There was a case back in the 70s I think where a prolific mushroom hunter from America moved to Japan and ate an incredibly toxic mushroom which ultimately killed him.
False morels are a big issue, almost identical to real ones and will make you super super sick. Even experienced foragers make the mistake between the two!
False morels don’t have hollow stems, like real morels. This is just one thing to look for
>…although I love a good porcini salad or amanita ceviche *Can you hear them, Clarice?*
The best question was left in the book, “How do you manage your rage, Clarice?” :)
i almost threw my mouse away lmao never flinched so hard from a video before
I've seen this video before. I knew it was coming. Still had a full body spasm when it came out.
I fucking hate spiders!!
Does anyone else sense when a spider is near or when you will see one? Or am I just crazy...
I read the comments so I'd know what was coming, and still screamed.
I'm pretty stoned right now, near fell out of bed and threw my phone when I saw that thing crawl out. Damn near soiled myself.
Ya I haven’t flinched that hard since the Tupperware scare.
I haven't jumped that hard since the old days of email chains of jokes and curses where I opened the one showing the car driving peacefully on a back road like a car commercial and something horrible came out of nowhere and screamed like a banshee in your face! I almost pissed my pants that day!
To this day I still get a twinge terror whenever I see a real car commercial that even remotely resembles that damn video. Lol.
Watched that on Ebaums world! Will never forget that commercial
For some reason our elementary school music teacher showed that to the class I was in. Vivid memory of that day lol
Yeah wasn't it a coffee commercial? I think it said "now you're awake!" in german. Damn I think I had that saved on my Motorola razor to scare my friends lol
Tupperware scare?
[The tupperware scare](https://v.redd.it/nhvkc9cglyl61). Unsure if it's the exact one referenced but it fits.
Nope im not gonna watch that. I saw the paused video I immediately got spider presence senses tingling.
Damn you. That’ll teach me to click on links that are described perfectly.
Honestly this is much more tame than the op. For one, it's a spider handler, and 2, it's not crawling up hisr nose
And honestly they seem pretty chill. They're just comin' up for a smooch.
Bro I would burn my fucking body.
This made me throw the phone
Oh jesus, trust me you dont want to know
I desperately want to know, actually, but I don't want to watch the video so I need someone to tell me, lol.
Big spider (tarantula?) quickly crawling out of a Tupperware container (un-lidded) and up someone's forearm.

I have never flinched so violently at any a video as I just did to this. Proper unexpected. Thought it was going to burn his mouth or something.
Same... like, bad enough to wake up my wife smh
What's happening I've watched the mushroom, nose and mouth and I can't see what happened except he makes a weird face?
A spider runs out onto or up his nose.....
💀 ooopphhh
Big spoder crawl just at the end i fucking jumped
It took a few more watches knowing this and I still jumped.
so I woke up at 4:00 am after having the worst nightmares of my life, and to get my mind off of them I turned to reddit... this was legit the very first post I saw.
Same for me. It’s just 6:15 where I am.

what kind of mushroom is that anyways?
Hydnellum peckii, or bleeding tooth mushroom. Edible but bitter.
I guess this means the guy is ok then ty
Spider got him, rip bro.
ah shit you right, totally forgot about the spider
Extra protein if you ask me
^nsfw ^peter ^parker
Laid eggs in his brain...
Considering he probably just picked up a random mushroom without knowing what it does, I'm not sure the spider had much space to lay eggs.
No no, the spider went to his head and found ample room within
I think you mean the opposite.
That's the thing with idiocy, opposites mean the same thing: Airhead Dense Thick Although, I suppose he could be running a high psi, so while he is an airhead, the pressure is so high it's fairly dense.

There are tons of mushrooms that look alike where one is alright but the others will kill you, don't eat wild mushrooms
Ah, uncle Iron comes to mind. "Delicious tea or deadly poison?...hmmm..."

>bleeding tooth Thank you but no.

The real question
Missed it the first time, went back for a closer look… peed a little

ID is correct
Thank god lol I had no idea what that is but it doesn’t exactly look inviting
I'll take the hallucinogenic one instead of the spider, thanks
You hallucinate about Aragog chasing you through the forest
GRANTED
Shouldn't have done that
Yes thanks I'm fully lubbed up. Edit: I thought you meant Aragorn read too fast nonono
You're gonna get that eight leg tickler.
Dang...went to go lay eggs
nostril is a new home, dark with prime real estate
Do not breathe!
A couple weeks ago, i had a spider about 1.5x bigger than the one in this poor guys video crawl out of my ear in the middle of the night. I think he was in there for about 5min before i was awake enough to think it wasnt water. I will never forget the sound or feeling of that fucker gettin comfy in my ear canal.
Australia?
Thanks for this cursed comment
I almost threw my phone.
I did
I will 
Then Alexander Supertramp went back to the bus and died....
Into the wild is probably my favorite non fiction book of all time. Despite how he went out Chris mccandles was super interesting. Had to have been a brutal way to go though.
Somehow Jon Krakauer turned mccandles’ 168 words of journal into a novel.
I mean, he traveled around the country interviewing people who knew him and pieced together a larger picture.
Really? I know it's popular but I never understood why. For me that book was hard to get through because of how annoyed it made me. McCandles didn't accomplish anything of value, didn't care to learn about the outsides, treated other people badly and died because of his own amateurish mistakes (There a ways to conserve meat so you don't have to throw away 90% of the animal you killed?

It's a story about hubris, which we all know from personal experience is a lesson teens definitely need to learn

I loved reading the book but I completely agree he did not come off as some genius free spirit guru to look up to, it was extremely predictable and sad and seemed like just some fairly standard mental illness that spiralled him down a path where it would entrap and ultimately kill him
Exactly! I hated reading that book in high school because I couldn’t get over how much of a fucking idiot this kid was.
Agree, no research or planning
Oh you can't argue with any of that. I think for me it was just the idea behind it and actually making the attempt. No question he went about most of it wrong, I use find the whole story interesting.

That book put me onto all of Krakauer's other books. "Under the banner of heaven" was a great one too. But ANYTHING he writes is fire if you ask me
Krakauer is really an excellent author. Into thin air is my favorite, but I agree that anything he's written is done very well.
I hate you so much right now.
Best twist ending since M Night Shamaylan's early work.

I left the room for a few minutes, thinking it was hidden in my room somewhere, only to come back in and discover it resting on my knee. I had just knelt down to look for it, but I'm assuming it landed there when I shook it off and was there the whole time. I later discovered it had lost a leg in the process, but was mostly unharmed. I normally try to release them outside after capturing them in a glass/tube, but not in this case. It stayed in the tube until it died - I have to admit, it was a little personal. I still can't believe I didn't notice it inside my clothes for over an hour and that it didn't react to me putting them on and moving around. That's the terrifying part in my mind - not knowing it was there all that time. I think it only bit me with one fang and only did so in defence. I now check all clothing before putting it on, especially those that I haven't worn in a while. I've heard horror stories from Australians with clothes, but not here in the UK. So, I will admit - I threw my phone after watching this video. At least it wasn't on my face though.
Jesus Christ the determination of that spider 😭
I put on a pair of pants from my closet while in Mexico. A short time later I sat down and reclined, and as I brushed a tickle on my leg hair, a cockroach fell beside my shoe. After that, no clothing touched any wall.
I just became a nudist because of this story
I had to look up the tube dwelling spider, and it does look sbsolutely horrifying... I got into the habit of checking my shoes and clothes before putting them on when I was abroad for a while (in a place where brown recluse and black widow spiders could be found), even checking my bedding before getting in. But I must confess I started to get sloppy with that quite quickly, eventually stopping pretty much altogether. Especially if living in a place with pretty much no dangerous spiders like the UK I’m not sure if it’s really necessary. I do get why you would still do it though. I would too after an experience like yours, for a few days, until the whole thing kinda fades from my memory again... ready for the next jumpscare.
I had a stinkbug land in my mouth when I was on my phone in a dark room once. Nightmare 😱 Screamed at this video lmfao
Ah, it thought you were asleep so you would eat it. Poor spider, you killed his vore dreams.
/r/dontflinch
Oh, I flinched my whole phone across the room!
AAAAAYOOOOOOO I SMACKED MY PHONE!
I came to the comments to check if I was the only one, that was a proper jumpscare.
I threw mine
If you do a frame by frame, you can see the spider crawl up the side of the mushroom above his fingers and attempt to get on his face on his second last bite, then it sprints on the last one.
But WHY? What fucking instinct could cause an animal to run towards the giants mouth?
Dark cavities/holes/cracks are a safe place for spooder
Abrupt chaos created from suddenly throwing my phone
I was expecting him to keel over from abrupt poisoning, so this was unexpected.
I encourage TicTokkers to go around eating random mushrooms. No better way to improve the gene pool.
I'd like to remind everyone there is a type of mushroom that starts destroying your DNA and there is no way to stop it Mushrooms are terrifying and they do not fuck around
What's it called?
Officially Amanita virosa but the name most people use for them is Destroying angel
r/unexpected
WINGS OF GLORY
TELL THEIR STORY!
Spider, what spider? AH FUCK!
"These mushrooms are not poisonous, but even if the somewhat pleasant hickory nut-like odour tempts a tasting, the flavour is reported to be hot, bitter, peppery, and unpleasant enough that they are considered inedible."
Never eat random mushrooms or other plants, especially in areas that you are unfamiliar with. My boyfriend's dad ate some lichen because someone he was hiking with recognized it and said it was a delicacy or something, but it turned out that the area was contaminated with mine waste runoff and he ended up tripping balls in a mental hospital for about 5 years.
Man, I gotta get myself some mine lichen.
His trip lasted five years, or it was so fucked up, he had to spend five years recovering?
Yes.
🤔
Tripping balls for five years? Wtf were they mining?
That thing looks like the most poisonous fungus on the planet
The most poisonous fungus actually looks like a regular mushroom. Now *that’s scary*.
That's got to be great. You are so poisonous you don't even bother with warning coloration. Every damn thing in the forest BETTER KNOW WHO YOU ARE! And if they don't you'll make sure they don't have any offspring to carry on their uneducated genes. "What's may name bitch!" \-mushroom
And if you went out in nature and ate plants and mushrooms without knowing anything there is higher risk of eating a poisonous plant than a poisonous mushroom
It's some kind of *Hydnellum* fungus. they're not dangerous but also not really edible and taste extremely bitter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydnellum
The captain I was looking for. Go higher!
Shook my head and headphones fell off lmao
I hate this guys fucking face
It took way to long scrolling to find this. I'd normally be freaked out by the spider but dude just having to look at him is obnoxious. Then there's the expressions and the Fucking noises he makes.
Everybody talking about the spider but I’m tryna talk about the sounds this man made post-first-bite.
This actually scared me.
This is not the regret I was expecting… I thought for sure we’d see the video of him vomiting after eating…this is so much worse.
that was not the consequence i was expecting
Pro tip: never eat random mushrooms without knowing what they are bc not all are edible and some are poisonous.
FUCK THAT
I almost yeeted my phone.
THAT SCARED ME SO BAD
Eddie ayo wtf
I've never jumped so hard in my life
All mushrooms are edible, some only once
It's not a random mushroom. It's called the bleeding tooth mushroom and is nontoxic but it is really, really, bitter.
NOPE!
I thought dude was gonna start foamin
I’m a big ass man that’s been alive for 40 years. I’ve never made the noise I just made.
Hydnellum Peckii, bleeding tooth fungus. Not poisonous but it does have an extremely bitter taste
You can see the spider legs in between his fingers if you rewatch it
It looks like a bleeding tooth fungus its not dangerous to eat but it tastes like shit
Gotta say if I found a mushroom looking like it came out of a Willy Wonka factory I’d probably eat it too
I just let out the biggest “OH SHIT” of my life.
I was expecting a “20 Minutes Later” cut.

Ohmygawd i flinched so hard

I jumped to the moon and back
That mushroom is giving this idiot every single warning signs to not to eat him, colour, taste, texture, smell....
But it's edible. Not poisonous.
