"Oh how I love episodes that mess with my mind. This is one of the most scientific episodes I have ever seen. It was a wonderful idea, of course, I'll never put mushrooms on my pizza ever again....much less even go near a mushroom but still. With this episode we see again the X-Files talent of taking a normal, everyday item, and changing into something to scare people with. I thought the ironies were hilarious, as soon as Scully told Mulder she believed him I just cracked up watching him not believe her believing him. And it was great to watch Scully get some of her own "this is the most logical explanation stuff." I'm pleased, though not surprised at how well Mulder and Scully work together, even in the midst of a spore induced hallucination. They can still finish each other's thoughts....though if they were having the hallucination together I suppose they were sharing thoughts instead of just theories also. Interesting. One qualm, Mulder and Scully are rescued, put into a van, and driven probably to a hospital or a guaranty wing somewhere. But while all this is happening no one thinks to give them an IV? They were just being digested after all, it might not have been for long but I think some of their body fluids would be depleted. And no emergency burn treatments? How long where they in there anyway? It doesn't matter actually, another day in the X-Files, and yet another guaranty stay."

"A deterioration of successive realities is evident in this fungal funhouse of an X-file. What viewing pleasure ensues when mental games and hallucinations take over a television show can be ascertained by this classic broadcast. I found this episode of the X-Files to be rooted in suspense, muddied with mystery and entangled in the intelligence of it's script. Nature seems to hate Mulder and Scully; storms, trees, bees, mud, water and fungus are all out to get them. Is it any wonder why Mulder's office doesn't have any windows and is in the basement? I like the fact that in this episode the enemy which endangers Fox and Dana most is their own perception. Fox and Dana must come to grips with their life threatening surroundings in order to survive through their hallucinations and this adds mind provoking suspense and mystery to the proceedings. Scully's reaction to Mulder's death is right on target giving Anderson something to dig with acting wise. Smart, well-acted and directed classic X-File."
-Michael B.- "If David Lynch were to have directed an X-Files episode, this would have been it. It was reminescent of Twin Peaks in that we had no idea what was really going on. But unlike Twin Peaks, we found an answer at the end of this episode. At times I was lost as to who was the one dreaming, or should I say having hallucinations. I was convinced that Mulder captured an alien, but then I lost hope and thought that the writers will allow the alien to escape and blot out Mulder's memory of it. I caught on to the idea that something was wrong when one of the Lone Gunmen quoted something Scully said earlier. It could have been more weird, but I nonetheless loved it. My two friends that watched it with me didn't like it that much. But they're stupid so it's ok."

"It has very nice effects and I love the fact that Mulder and Scully know each other so well they can deduce what's actually happening with their images of each other. The hand holding was cheese but a private acknowledgment of their connection, so it was acceptable but still cheese."
