Magic mushroom

There are mushrooms scattered around the East End - but they're absolutely not edible! Artist Christiaan Nagel has made the brightly-coloured fungi from polyurethane. Although there are a number scattered around, the Brick Lane example is the one that makes me smile: with that texture and colour, it seems to be made of Wotsits.

Thank you, Sandra!

The new colour scheme is great, and looks very elegant - apart from being much easier to read! I love the birds in the background.
That mushroom would look even better if it had a caterpillar sitting on it smoking a hookah.

Thank you - and you're absolutely right, that mushroom is crying out for the caterpillar!
