And suddenly your computer refuses to start. Complete curiosity about why, you decide to open the lid of your tower pc for the first time. You look ecstatic on the huge board with CPU, fans, GPU and mushrooms.
Its user Reddit / u / thjake uploaded to PC Master Race subreddit images from an infected person GPU.
This is a tower computer that had been used for a month and on the GPU (card graphics) a mushroom-shaped fungus had grown. The mushrooms probably grew within this month and apart from the general lack of cleanliness the computer must have been in a humid environment.
The experienced user of Reddit / u / cheelos explains that the mushrooms seem to be Psilocybe cubensis, also known as magic mashrooms.
There are some details about how the mushrooms could have grown, but despite the comments written down below, thrjake has not published anything other than uploading the images.
It is a bit suspicious and some users they argue that if the mushrooms had grown on the graphics card then they should have been facing the nearest light source and thus should have been turned at a 90 degree angle.
No one knows the exact truth but one is certain. You should regularly clean your computer.
