Pleurotus Atriodontis is one of the few speculated carnivorous mushrooms that can grow on living humans and mammals. Only found in the oral cavity, its mycelia can digest the dentin of the tooth, which is believed to be a way in which the fungi obtains nitrogen. #PenAndInk #Drawing #cryptopathology
