I'm extremely skeptical, but this is purported as factual: Hoax?
    #5473315 - 04/03/06 02:07 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/1upmushroom.shtml?cpg=28H

The description for this product reports this kit as being able to, literally, grow a 1-up mushroom as seen in Super Mario Brothers.

I'm inclined to think that this is hoaxed, somehow... but I can't think of how unless somebody either doctored the photo or painted the coloration onto the mushroom.



From a mycological point of view... is it possible that this sort of coloration could be made to occur on a mushroom?

It's painted on... It looks like a standard button mushroom that someone had gone over with a marker.

That's basically what I'm thinking, but they're selling them with the claim that they grow like that.

If the kit didn't actually grow a mushroom with such an appearance, it would be false advertising, which is a crime.

You guys can't really be falling for this. =]

The only thing that's worth the $10 in that kit is the green container with "1-up" on it.

That would make a sweet mini-casing container :wink:
