When you go for an evening walk at 9pm and return two hours later with a bunch of mushrooms, and cleaning the said mushrooms and preparing the sauce becomes your entire night.

it’s nefeloma!! they are a cappy native to popstar, but instead travel the galaxy searching for remnants of what came before. unfortunately, for all their smarts, there is no way they could have ever prepared for the looming threat that sings in the galaxies…

FOTD #056 : night-light mushroom! (mycena chlorophos)
the night-light mushroom (AKA green pepe) is a strongly bioluminescent mushroom in the family mycenaceae. this fungus occurs in forests on fallen woody debris such as dead twigs, branches, & logs. they have been found in india, japan, taiwan, polynesia, indonesia, sri lanka, australia & brazil !!
the big question : can i bite it??
ooh - the edibility of m. chlorophos is unknown.
m. chlorophos description :
"the cap is initially convex before flattening out (sometimes forming a central depression), & measures up to 30 mm (1.2 in) in diameter. the cap has radial grooves extending to nearly the centre, & sometimes develops cracks in the margin, which has small rounded teeth. its colour is pale brownish grey that fades after expansion, & it is somewhat sticky. the white stem is 6–30 mm (0.24–1.18 in) long by 0.3–1 mm thick, hollow, & translucent. it has tiny hairs on the surface. the base of the stem is disc-shaped or somewhat bulbous, measuring 1–2.5 mm wide. the thin gills are free from attachment to the stem, or are adnexed (narrowly attached) to a slight collar encircling the stem. initially white then greyish in colour, they are somewhat crowded, with 17–32 full-length gills & 1 to 3 tiers of lamellulae (shorter gills that do not extend fully from the cap margin to the stem). the gills are 0.3–1 mm wide with micaceous edges. both the caps & the gills are bioluminescent, while the mycelia & stems have little to no luminescence."

Upon rewatch of the Mario Movie, I really gotta wonder how long the Mario Bros were in the Mushroom Kingdom for.
They get sucked through the pipe past sundown Brooklyn time, which depending on the season is like 8-9 o’clock, Mario arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom in the day time, maybe late afternoon, and spends the rest of the day through the night into the morning on Peach’s Mario Maker level, travels all the next day, sleeps in a Fire Flower field for the night, arrives at the Kong Kingdom mid the next day, leaves the Kong Kingdom on Karts around sunset, which turns to night as they are ambushed, leading to Mario and DK spending the entire night inside an eel only breaking out early the next morning, just to make it barely in time to Peach and Bowser’s wedding sometime around noon, and go back through the pipe to have it be early morning in Brooklyn with the rest of the Mario family carrying on with breakfast as usual.
So they spend 3 Days in the Mushroom Kingdom, but only like 12 hours of Brooklyn time seems to have passed.
