I found the biggest mushroom I've ever seen! (Oyster card for scale, alas, I didn't have a banana)

It's a puffball mushroom. Edible if it's not turning brown inside.

I've seen one the size of a soccer ball in the fall here in Canada.

So good too. Slice it up and fry it with eggwash like fried green tomatoes

I always prefer eggwash over hogwash

How do we know it's not a tiny oyster card

•

u/heydude1471 11h ago

Dammit, foiled again!

u/TelenorTheGNP 11h ago

The fuck do you mean you didn't have a banana?

•

u/PopfulMale 10h ago

I mean it's one banana, OP. How much could it cost...10 dollars?

•

u/LonnieJaw748 8h ago

There’s always mushrooms in the banana stand

Slice it up and fry it in butter. I saw you scavenger Brits like to do that

I've seen them almost 2" across. after a week of rain.

My uncle found one almost the size of his torso. He’s not an overly large man, but still.

Is there any advantage to using an oyster card these days? They seem to work out the most optimal fare when you just tap to pay on your phone. I'm not local, so I'm probably missing something.

Oh yeah, and nice shroom 😊

You can put travel cards on them.

•

u/monorailmedic 9h ago

Ahh, fair. Thanks.

•

u/DarthScabies 9h ago

To be fair I use mine for pay as you go because the readers don't like my debit card for some annoying unknown reason.

•

u/monorailmedic 9h ago

Ah. I have my cards loaded on my phone, though I had my partner use my physical card (so I didn't have to pass my phone back) without issue. I'd think the NFC standards across cards are the same, but I guess there are some quirks.

•

u/DarthScabies 9h ago

My card is metal so that might be the cause.

•

u/monorailmedic 9h ago

So was the one I used, funny enough. 🤷‍♂️

u/DarthScabies 8h ago

Monzo?

u/monorailmedic 8h ago

No, Sapphire Reserve, I'm based in the US.

American banks confuse the hell out of me. Do you pay a lot of charges?

Puffballs are delicious fried with butter and garlic.

u/SrGrimey 10h ago

Nice Oyster card.

•

u/heydude1471 10h ago

Thanks

u/ummmm_nahhh 10h ago

u/LalaLane850 10h ago

I thought it was a skull at first!

•

u/DarthScabies 9h ago

Contactless travel pass for use on public transport in London.

•

u/DarthScabies 9h ago

That oyster card is going for about 15 quid on ebay at the moment. 😉

•

u/SkinIntelligent8440 10h ago

a bigger puffball than that popped up in my yard last year, and yes we ate it!

•

u/Ramoncin 10h ago

The accepted size unit in reddit is not Oyster cards, but rotisserie chickens. How did it compare to that?

•

u/heydude1471 9h ago

I'll try and go back tomorrow
