Thank you. So much for my identification skills, apparently I made the common mis-identification.
To be fair, if it is in fact a false parasol, they are not deadly poisonous, but will cause exits from both ends.
Chlorophyllum molybdites is the most frequently eaten poisonous mushroom in North America.[9]
When eaten raw C. molybdites produce severe symptoms, including bloody stools, within a couple of hours. When cooked well, or parboiled and decanting the liquid before cooking, others eat and enjoy it.
The usual smooth brainers were strolling through traffic, stopping their vehicles etc to take pics and selfies of the mushrooms so the cops took them away (the mushrooms, not the smooth brainers unfortunately)
If you get hit by a car collecting them it might be, otherwise you’ll just have a shitty day or if you cook them like a normal person you’ll have a delicious meal, perhaps even a succulent Chinese meal if you pair them correctly.
Dogs shit on green area, it rains, mushrooms grow, saved them a trip.
Now we are in August. One would think the government would be able to tell workers on it’s official websites what holidays they have for the rest of this year…but nope.
4 of these days are bunched within an approx 1 month period end of Sept to end Oct. I mean it’s not like anybody could do with a holiday off in Summer now is it, and Taiwan’s tourism industry is doing sooooo well right now. It’s not like they couldn’t look at their fave country , Japan and see how they have a day off in every month.
Well done Taiwan government ..well $&#$ing done!!! You are excellent!!! Taiwan Numbah !
Taiwan, that place where intentionally leaving the bonnet not completely closed is a thing. I see it more often in the summer months, so I guess people trully believe it helps cooling down the motor.
Usually on the streets. I don’t see many cars indoors (well, parkings…).
Nah, seriously, it is not something everybody does, but I’ve seen it many many times, on moving cars too. Even more common among taxis, because professional drivers. The bonnet is usually at that point where the lock has already a grip on it, but it is not yet fully closed, leaving a bigger gap with the rest of the body. At lower speeds it shouldn’t go flying, but at road speeds…
Anyway, I don’t know if that is what happened with the car in the video above.
