Seeing Mooncakes!

The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by Chinese all over the world. It must be barely a month ago since the festival ended and I am still seeing mooncakes. My niece had made all sorts of mooncakes, traditional mooncakes, Japanese, Shanghai mooncakes and some cute colorful mooncakes. Oh, just feast your eyes... Traditional Mooncakes... Shanghai Mooncakes... Japanese Mooncakes... Mooncakes, Mooncakes... I am seeing and dreaming mooncakes...

A Traveller's Tale:Giant Mushrooms

I remember the good old days when teachers in school asked students to draw a scene of a fascinating land or a scene in a dream and they would come up with a scene where giant mushrooms abound. Calvatia gigantea or the Giant puffball, found throughout Europe and North America, in the meadows, fields, and deciduous forests in late summer and autumn grow to 10 to 70 centimetres (3.9 to 28 in) in diameter and occasionally to 150 centimetres (59 in), would not qualifiy as giant mushrooms at all if Armillaria ostoyae , or the honey mushroom said to have been discovered in the Malheur National Forest in Eastern Oregon really exists. The latter is a fungus 3.5 miles across and takes up 1,665 football fields. Other than these mushrooms that I read about, the biggest mushrooms I have come across must be the one in Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur. Those are synthetic mushrooms made to please the crowds. Things are often made to please! Which of these giant mushrooms do you fancy?
