These are genetically engineered variants of brewer's yeast designed to produce pigments.
Don't think spores will be an issue since it's not the mycelium's sex organ mushroom that you're thinking of
"Many authors consider C. militaris quite common, spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere,[6] and fruiting bodies appear in Europe from August to November."[0]
That sounds like a mushroom to me
Or just getting a bad itch.
But it's pretty cool.
Obviously, us american's need to wear and use everything made from oil, because it's so safe...
I doubt it has a smell stronger than the wearer
edit: this is a bad take, upon further research
I doubt it would be strongly present here. The article says the mycelium are close to dormant.
You can actually purchase mushroom alcohol commercially as a food additive.
Pine mushrooms, not so much.
On return, the contents of the washing machine were pretty much this.
So, not repair itself.
It's one thing to say "get it wet and leave it in the sun". It's another thing to require identical replacement material and nutrient slurry (I don't know about you, but I think I can source fabric glue more easily than potato water).
