click the above pic to see the growth of this golden oyster mushroom in a day…

These photos are taken in Cheong’s organic farm in Tai Kong Po village (大江浦) in Yuen Long, HK… Cheong says the mushroom grows really fast and sometimes he needs to harvest them after midnight, as the taste is not so good if they grow too big…

Golden oyster mushroom (金頂側耳, Pleurotus citrinopileatus) is one type of oyster mushroom (秀珍菇, Pleurotus Ostreatus). There are many types of oyster mushroom, in a wide array of colours, including white, yellow, brown, and pink, all tending to fade to a creamy gray when cooked.

In the wild, it grows abundantly on the trunks of dead or dying deciduous trees, usually alder, and sometimes fenceposts. The most unusual location was on the dry skull of a dead whale reported in the 19th century. The mushroom can be found in the temperate regions of the world from autumn through winter and, this slippery textured mushroom, has been known to survive the snow. First cultivated in Hungary, it is now mainly cultivated in China and Japan.

The distorted oyster mushroom can reach a width of five inches and forms on a very short stem offset to the side and attached to the tree.

Greatwall Rave Party

Posted in 大 城 小 景 by xina

I am speechless after reading the Next magazine report on the Rave party at the Great Wall… What a shame…

The party was held at 18km from Beijing city, at the famous “Golden Mountain Ridge” section of the Great Wall…

A fleet of over 1,500 party soldiers occupied the Great Wall tonight, armed with them 2 mega size video walls and drumming sound systems, with DJ playing music in the middle…

Several sexy party girls get to some hidden corners to exchange marijuana leafs… and people dance wildly in the party…. Well-prepared party goers even take with them tents… where they can… hoho…

Outdoor rave party was first organized at the Great Wall since 1998. That got so hot and more rave parties have been organized in many other famous heritage sites in China, including at the Qing Imperial Tomb, and the Stone Forest in Kuming of Yunnan…

Usually held in July, Great Wall rave party became a big annual function now, where locals and foreigners get themselves mingled by electronic music!
