http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/12/500x_mushroom_realism.jpgCan't say I'm much of a fan of the mushroom. And were I in need of a height-doubling fungi in order to save a kidnapped princess, I might have a hard time swallowing this disturbingly realistic Super Mario Bros. (http://kotaku.com/tag/supermariobros/)-style mushroom.
The above creation, from Kotaku tipster and sculptor Jaime (aka "Kalapusa"), fits in wonderfully with the previously featured realistic—and equally disturbing—Piranha Plant (http://kotaku.com/5362183/the-making-of-a-piranha-plant). Oh, and alongside the similarly realistic Blue Shell (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320458239299&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT), it's for sale (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320459747176&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT).
Yes, it's a little tiny. But tiny enough to hang comfortably from a Christmas tree branch, if you have such a thing.
Potentially the most exciting news to come of this particular post is Jaime's plan to create a "realistic Baby Metroid in formaldehyde" for a future product. Uh... awesome?
