The UCCS mycological society has grown a new building from a set of spores, but only “fun guys” will be allowed to enter the premises.
The new building, grown last week, will sport all sorts of fungi-themed facilities including mushroom-shaped toilets, mushroom-themed lights and a locker room.
“The new facility will be great,” said the President of the Mycology Society Debra Handler hanging up a poster that read “Spores over bores” in the vestibule.
The facility was grown from spores found near the computer science department. The original spores were found on a keyboard, but additional spores were located near the booger wall in the bathroom.
“If you find a CS major and a stick of deodorant in the same room, one of them is lost,” said Handler, hanging up another poster with blotchy golden arches that read “I’m lichen it.”
The decision to only admit “fun guys” into the space has left some students dismayed, namely computer science major Alex Schaeffer.
“This is a load of shitake mushrooms,” said Schaeffer. “I’m cool! I’m hip! Why can’t I go in?” Schaeffer was said to be wearing a hideous, grey cardigan.
The building is set to open next week and is set to grow until the campus is made entirely of mycelium.
