All Shaggy Mane mushrooms had wilted by yesterday afternoon. So, this morning, I had to scrutinise the garden to spot the smaller ones.
On Mar 18, 2018 dinner, my host narrated frightening ghost stories of ghosts seen inside the Aldelphi Hotel car park, the Malay lady ghost appearing at all times in the Fullerton Hotel building during construction work such that the workers were not bothered, the children ghosts during the 7th month Ghost Festival at an office in Tuas in which no food offerings but only "Kim Chua" or golden papers were offered.
Yesterday at 11.30pm, nearer to midnight, I could not see any new mushrooms. Hose the garden and plantar box. This morning, 6.30 am, saw the following new ones
Mar 16, 2018 at 11 pm when I reached home. See mushrooms at early stage of growth.
