I hadn't taken a look at a box of Lucky Charms in a long while. I remember the leprechaun looking like this:

LOL!!!

That'll teach me for just finding an image from google and throwing it up here without looking closely... It's the first one that came up and it's from a mushroom fan site! This was the caption next to the "Magically Delicious" box...

I hope you enjoyed learning something about Marasmius oreades today. There are lots of interesting phenomena associated with this mushroom, including resurrection and fairy rings.

For your enjoyment, here's an image of everyone's favorite leprechaun, on the Lucky CharmsTM Box-- the way the leprechaun WISHED it was...

Can you name all of the leprechaun's favorite fungi? You can click on each magically delicious marshmallow for more information.

Are leprechauns supposed to look happy and friendly?

I have to say, that was one of the better laughs I've had in a long time - thanks, BigJohn :).
