Man survives 35 days lost in mushroom cave

PARIS (Reuters) - A Frenchman lost in a labyrinth of disused mushroom caves said he had survived 35 days by eating rotten wood and clay, after being rescued only thanks to a teachers' strike.


Jean-Luc Josuat-Verges, 48, told French newspapers he had gone to the deserted caves at Madiran in the Pyrenees in December seeking isolation during a spell of depression which had left him considering suicide.


While wandering through the cave network the father-of-two's torch stopped working, and he was unable to find his way out.


His abandoned car was found 35 days later by three children who were not at school because their teachers were on strike. The children alerted police who rescued Josuat-Verges from the caves. French media said he had lost 18 kg (40 lb) and was "weak".

I hope he seeks help for his suicidal thoughts. Although it appears the mushrooms from the cave erased that desire from his mind. Scientists are still unsure how the mushrooms did this but they are investigating it now.

You have a class about shrooms? What college are you going to? ;)

Anyway, that is amazing that he could live in there if he could barely see in the first place and was somehow managing to find food.

Depends on the mushrooms, though. It might be full of poison mushrooms. Then he'd be lost forever. : o

I will now officially apologize for these last few posts which I can only describe as "ill-advised." It was an experiment gone wrong, and my only excuse is my own youthful indiscretion. I hope that you, the Gametavern Communtiy, can forgive my regrettable actions, and we can all move on from this despicable incident. Thank you.
