Common portobello mushroom spores can colonise human lungs, as the porous, warm and moist environment is ideal for fungal growth particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This can cause a conditioj known clinically as pulmonary mycoma: mushroom lungs.

Roamin’ in the gloamin’ on the bonnie banks o’ Clyde.

Roamin’ in the gloamin’ wae my lassie by my side.

When the sun has gone to rest,

That’s the time we love the best.

O, it’s lovely roamin’ in the gloamin.
