Mario mushrooms sound delicious, but we wish someone would hide a delicious turkey leg in a trash can for us. This guy knows what we’re talking about.

Cultural Blips:

Mario Mushroom

This is super: Make your own Mario mushrooms. Nerd-food pro Anna The Red teaches us how to make the iconic height-enhancing mushrooms from Super Mario Bros. via a radish and some seaweed. Hmm, wonder if these are FDA-approved… [Offworld]
