A large cluster of inky mushrooms appeared overnight in front of an arcade block on Maine Street between the sidewalk and the steel. People gathered as botanist Miss Kate Furbish inspected the site and called them the fluont variety. They ranged from cane to four inches tall, growing tightly together as the largest growth seen by the noted expert, with many visitors collecting them as souvenirs rather than for eating.
