Hotel guest disgusted after making shocking discovery in her room

Checking into a hotel and seeing a complimentary gift is always a bonus - but one woman's experience was far from luxurious. TikTok user Kristin posted a shocking video of the room she checked into at a Holiday Inn Express in Kentucky, peering behind the curtains to reveal a handful of small mushrooms. 'I got to pull my shades up on my windows and this is what I find,' she said, walking over to the window frame to the show the fungi.

According to many users in the comments, the found fungi are oyster mushrooms, which can grow in homes if it is a moist environment. 'Oyster mushrooms! Those things will push through ANYTHING. Fun fact, if you're growing them and you start your oysters in a glass jar and you wait too long, it'll blow the jar to pieces,' one user commented on the video. 'An in-room mushroom garden! That's so bougie,' joked another.

'Better than bed bugs or hidden cameras I guess lol,' someone else pointed out. 'Just have to wonder how well the room is cleaned if they "missed" this?' questioned someone else. TikTok user Kristin posted a shocking video of the room she checked into at a Holiday Inn Express in Kentucky , peering behind the curtains to reveal a handful of small mushrooms. 'Oyster mushrooms are known for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor. If you live in a mildly moisture home don't bring in a mushroom starter kit the spores will go EVERYWHERE and grow,' someone else wrote.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Holiday Inn for comment. Oyster mushrooms are shell shaped, and grow in tiers or clusters on dead trees or stumps - or in some circumstances, out of windows or walls. According to Rescue Clean 911, mushrooms grow in moist places, such as showers, because the spores of the fungi need water to germinate. While users speculated the mushrooms were safe, Healthline advises anyone eating mushrooms to be extremely careful.

'While some people enjoy eating mushrooms, it is essential to be aware that not all varieties are safe to consume,' the website noted. It continued: 'If you are unsure about a particular type of mushroom, it is best to set it aside and avoid eating it.'. Last year, a man was driven out of his home because of toxic mushrooms had grown out of a leaky pipe, and wasn't able to return to his flat almost a year on.

'I had Flood Doctor and the laboratory saying you need to leave for your health. It was literally stay and die or leave today,' he said. 'I just couldn't believe what I had been living in,' he added, 'it's unbelievable. You pay £5,000 ($6,200) for this sort of weaponized negligence.'.
