Mango with White Mushrooms Sparks Debate; Owner Claims Fruit Was Consumed, Biologist Offers Explanation
A video of white mushrooms growing on a mango has gone viral, prompting online discussion. The mango’s owner consumed the fruit, reporting no taste difference. An expert identified the fungus as *Schizophyllum commune*, or split gill mushroom, likely growing due to surface carbonization and the fruit’s nutrients. While the owner ate the mango itself, the fungus was discarded. Experts advise against consuming such fungi due to safety concerns.
