Random/Pointless Post of the Day: The Mario Mushroom Exists in Real Life
stummies1121 \| 11:18 PM on 10.07.2007	16 comments

Feeling small lately? Hoping to grow? Worried that this is a post about male-organ enlargement?

Well, put your fears to rest and check out this awesome mushroom that looks eerily like those yummy mushrooms from those oh-so-lovable Mario games.

Now, if only they had one in green... I could sure use some extra lives.

***Note: According to a commenter on the blog from which I found this, these mushrooms can cause hallucinations and death. So er, I guess I don't actually recommend eating them. Unless you want to invoke your "berserker rage," which actually sounds kind of fun.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I'd eat it

Green mushroom want is seconded. I don't need a super-life, I just want back-up lives.

I'd rather eat the bug that's crawling on it.

What the hell is that, anyways?

@ Nex - I hope that wasn't his attempt at flirting because... eww. Creepy is right. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though, hopefully he just has the munchies.

@ BahamutZero - hahaha awesome! Thanks for those :)

@ LostCrichton - yep, I most definitely am! My AIM name (which I'm not sharing at this point in time) is also KitH related, because I'm a big nerd like that.

Yeah bro, thats an Anamita Muscara. Ohio has yellow ones. Dont look quite the same, but damn close.

p.s.- A little known story named 'Alice In Wonderland' makes references to these mushrooms. I think theres a rumor of the mushrooms being an "inspiration" for this story, but I'm usually wrong, so don't quote me.

p.p.s- There are also white ones, those ones WILL kill you, hands down.

Can I grow a small garden of the green ones just in case the terrorist win?

Hallucinations and death are a small price to pay to grow twice my current size. Also, can I wear your skin as a suit?

wardrox

Death is fine, as long as you have the green one.

about me

My personality is too tired to create a profile that you feel like reading. Maybe if I hadn't spent all last week cudgeling it into submission and hurling it down the stairs while throwing trash cans at it, it'd be feeling more agreeable. Oh well, hindsight and all that.

Me tired ----> (took out pic for paranoia purposes of losing my job)
