I'm extremely skeptical, but this is purported as factual: Hoax?

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

I can imagine men and women alike buying the orgasam mushies for women, but I can't imagine a man taking them. Come on, really, it's not only the ending that counts, it's everything leading up to it. And besides, if we men did turn out to like it.... we'd go broke.
