Mushroom area to sprout in former red zone - a good idea?
Happy Monday neighbours,
A mushroom-themed education, play and foraging area will sprout in Christchurch's red zone in the coming months.
The Mushroom Room will feature at least six different native and exotic species of edible mushrooms for foragers, art by local artists, engaging play pieces, and interactive signage to educate people about the fast-growing fungi.
Christchurch City Council announced the plans on Monday and the project has received a $19,600 grant.
The purpose is to educate people on the fungi as well as attracting more use of the red zone land and encouraging visitors.
The project will be on the corner of Evelyn Cousins Ave and River Rd in Richmond and is expected to be completed by April.

“See I got my hair cut on Friday. I've got my hair band to keep it up. See? Like this I keep it up.
Biscuit Blair - she's my favourite woman. And you. And that cheeky lady over there.
My last name is Rule. I'll write it down for you, you silly old duff.
I was born on West Coast. I moved here when I was a little girl.
I like doing pictures here that’s why I like pictures. Doing art. I like going for a walk. I come here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
My sister, I go see her on Saturday. Have a cup of coffee, at home. She's five, nine. 59. I'm five, seven, 57. This year I'll be 58. My birthday's on a Thursday. I'm having chocolate cake and pizza. And lolly ice cream.
Some people are noisy. Nicholas, and Peter and Chris, they are my friends and that giggly girt over there.
I get headache sometimes at other work, because noisy.
I'm happy here. I could go for a walk if I want to. I'm good.”
