I will never look at mushrooms the same way again

Last morning, everything was fine. Just spicky-span fine.
Many hours later, in late evening, we found something in one of our bedrooms. Near the bathroom, at the border where carpet meets the wall.
IT WAS A MUSHROOM
A pair of 4-inch tall mushrooms were growing out of our carpet.
Just last morning they weren't there and now, about 15 hours or a little more later, there they are!! We managed to take them out and clorox+lots of other things the area.
I swear, the next time I eat a pizza with all toppings, I will never look at that mushroom the same way again.

Be glad your carpet doesn't support bamboo. Still, 4 inches is impressive.
EDIT:carpet, not sarpet.

Maybe you`ll need to clean the whole room to be sure there is no more mushroom.
and on your pizzas ask them without mushroom.

Speaking of which, it even released its spores. One moment, just mushrooms. About 2 hours later, spores released and littered the carpet underneath it with millions of tiny black spores.
Thank goodness there was no wind

I'd get rid of the mushroom itself, not just the part sticking out.

Well, he did Clorox everything. That can't be good for the mushrooms.

Uhm, not to be insulting or anything, but what's the state of your housekeeping if you have mushrooms growing in your carpet???
And 4" overnight is about how they grow, I've seen big assed puff-ball fungi appear overnight in Ohio.

I hope your room doesn't have any mold or anything that might affect your health.

Which reminds me:
You, like thousands of other families who have been scared shitless from our announcements relating to mold, may have mold growing in your house. To be safe, I suggest you burn it to the ground before more harm can be done, as you were too late. You should have burnt the house down when it brand new.

That clorox should do the job but you should pull up the carpet to see if the wooden floorboards are rotten. You might have water leaking into the floor.

Drown your carpet in defensive nanites.
That will keep the fuckers from coming back.
Make sure they can't evolve worth shit, though. Wouldn't want them eating your pancreas or anything.

It's the first step in the Mystery Mushroom Men's invasion plans!
What is unusual is that they chose your abode for the initial landing...

Indeed. Why didn't they choose a more convenient target like EmperorMing's?
