Mushrooms Grow On Bus? NOT Edible!
Next time you want mushrooms, you won’t need to go mountain climbing or fields or even veggie shops. All you might require to do is look around in the bus you are traveling and you might just find them.
Though you would better stop being greedy as they are not good for your health.
A woman surnamed Wang found several grey capped and white stem mushrooms on the ceiling of a No. 413 bus when she was traveling around 7am on Thursday in Wuhan, capital of central China’s Hubei Province.
Wang took some photos of the rare farm scene and posted it on Weibo. She wrote that the ‘interior decoration’ of the bus was really astonishing.
She is not the only to have a mushroom luck. On Saturday morning, another bus rider surnamed Cao found four to five mushrooms under the seats on a double-decker No. 719 bus around 8:50am. Cao wrote that the bus seemed enough nutrient-rich to make mushrooms grow.
Authorities removed the mushrooms as soon as they received the reports, Chutian Metropolis Daily reported. They said it’s the first time they saw mushrooms growing on a bus since the company was established over a decade ago.
The No. 413 bus has been in use since 2009. Its ceiling suffered water leakage from time to time. Mushroom growth may well be linked to the humid weather a while before, experts said.
Some fungal spores may be blown into the bus by wind and grow into a mushroom under proper temperature and humidity, said Wang Zhuoren, a senior agronomist and director of strain experiment center at Huazhong Agricultural University.
Wang said the mushrooms growing on bus were not common edible ones. People better not pick and eat them.
