Has anyone else noticed this? For example, the Super Mushroom in Super Mario Bros. is the most recognizable example...
When I told others about this, they were not so quick to take my word on it, so I've documented a bunch of examples I can share with you here:

Has anyone else spotted any Ive failed to document? Did you know about this beforehand? Any other views/comments?
My latest find was inside the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, in the fortune tellers shop you can find these shrooms hanging up to dry all around... and we all know the tie between shrooms, shamanism, and 'fortune telling'.

There are what I suspect to be gymnopolis mushrooms outside the witches candy house in the Hanzel and Gretel movie.

I'm pretty sure there are inside jokes of mushrooms in games when they probably helped them throughout the game, but I think they only chose that mushroom in Mario because its cartoony looking.

Amanitas are the most recognized of all mushrooms, you find them in disney, hot pads in kitchens, little porcelain ones in china cabinets. My grandma had to huge ones next to her rope swing and told us not to go around them because of poision ivy. They're all over the place.
