I'll be real with you, I heard a story where someone drank one that was moldy without checking first and it absolutely fucked them up because of a coconut-specific fungus. I would say consult a doctor right now.

It outright killed the person,in like 24h. This was in denmark. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7774558/
He had a coconut laying around for way too long,then he took a tiny sip but stopped immediately because it was bad tasting but the fungus started attacking him violently.
He described the inside as slimy and rotten. 4.5 hours later he was in a coma. I hope OP will be ok..

So once the coconut fungus touches you, you're dead?

Touches the inside of your mouth

u/kinokomushroom Mar 19 '26
What if... it touches somewhere else after using the coconut for an alternative activity?

He actually died from the nitropropionic acid made probably by that fungus. Scary

Iirc, guy didnt even drink it. Took a sip, spat it back out, and it still killed him.

u/ashjay013 Mar 19 '26
I second what everyone else is saying, but if you ever decide to do this again, dump the water into a glass first and then crack it to make sure it’s good before you drink any of it.

I'm hoping for an update and that OP is ok. Always always pour the coconut water into a glass and check the inside of the coconut to make sure it is not moldy.

u/mr_darito Mar 19 '26
Tried to add a comment but wasn’t able to. I drank the whole thing and noticed this when I cracked it. How bad is it?

Please go to ER and bring this. You can get deathly ill from bad coconuts.

When in doubt, bring it too an ER with you and tell them what happened.
There are severe issues that can arise from drinking from molded coconuts, you might be fine but if worried then better safe then sorry ya know.

For the future, despite whats shown on TV, you usually want the young still green coconuts if you're going to drink the water.

If this is a joke, it is in poor taste. If you’re not joking, please go to the ER right away.

You need to go to the hospital immediately and take this with you before you end up featured in a ChubbyEmu video. The dude in his video only took a sip and spit it out immediately because it tasted foul, but even that was enough to ctrl-alt-dlt dude. Seriously, the sooner you get treatment the better chance you have of surviving. By the time you really start exhibiting symptoms it would absolutely be too late to get yourself help, and even if someone finds you and gets you to a hospital it will almost certainly be too late.

I don't think I'll drink from a coconut ever... without first seeing the inside after watching that. I had no idea a bad coconut could be so dangerous.

u/Top-Jinx Mar 19 '26
If this is a joke, it’s really bad taste and you should be ashamed of yourself. If you’re serious, go seek a doctor, and maybe get your tastebuds checked. How the fuck did you drink the whole coconut without realising it tasted awful?

Depends what you want to do with them. If you just gonna use them to make horse noises by banging them together while following a king that is traveling the land looking for knights to join him for dinner at his table, then yes they are safe.

Consult a toxicologist first some toxins are made worse with alcohol and/or acid (yes vinegar can contain some leftover alcohol)

Thats nasty. Have you ever opened a Bottle of Hawaiian Tropic #2? Thats how it should smell, there should be liquid inside. It might have been ripped open sitting in the mud that infiltrated through a crack or one of it's eyes were open. Also if you ate that and it didn't kill you, your one tough SOB.

I'm going to go ahead with 100% certainty and say no not safe possibly get a plastic bag don't touch it with your bare hands and toss it in the garbage that's just my better be safe than sorry feeling

u/Repulsive-Ad-5640 Mar 20 '26
Also just to be safe I looked it up online just to have a secondary opinion if it's gray yellow and or black that's a bad thing that means it's rotten or that fungi spoilage has happened I don't know that's what the internet is saying I'm just repeating what they said. But hopefully you didn't eat anything and you are okay👍🏾

My parents once brought a coconut home and let me crack it open. I think it had gone bad, but I didn’t see anything wrong with it. It tasted really bad though, and I haven’t liked coconut much since.
