They reckon this guy who was missing for 18 days survived off mushrooms & dam water

Well I am calling bullshit ........ it was his shirt that saved him!!

how can anyone be lost for 18 days but be drinking dam water?

dams are usually in fence offed paddocks near to things that need dam water. it makes no sense theyd be 18 days away from whatever needs dam water.

in the picture hes in a paddock with a fence. if you follow a fence youre going to find something eventually.

must have been those mushrooms he was taking

It takes a long time to die of starvation and most people would survive the 18 days with access to dam water. Exertion, heat stress and elements exposure (recent rainfall/humidity) probably more concerning over that long period than whether they ate or not. He spent the first 3 days in a car and then was found 3km away from the car, presumably getting to dam water within days of leaving the car. If he was lost and disorientated then he might have traveled further on foot in a roundabout way.

But in a more controlled environment, like if on hunger strike or something, you'd probably last 1-2 months without co-morbidities.
