One week since Mayor Godenot’s call for help, glowing mushrooms continue to infest the bayou—and now they may be spreading to the City of New Toulouse.
Overnight, the Tattler received an anonymous tip alerting us to the existence of the mushroom Agaricus toulousica in the city.
We can confirm that there are indeed glowing mushrooms in the park maintained by Mr. Langlinais.

Mr. Langlinais lives in a treehouse in the bayou; perhaps he inadvertantly carried
Agaricus toulousica spores over to the city on his shoes.
In addition, a source within City Hall says the Bureau of Scientific Inquiry has sent the mayor another letter. The missive, which can be seen on page 10, contains revised and worrisome instructions for the safe handling of the mushrooms.
We urge every person reading this report to spread the word, and to aid in the effort to eradicate the fungoid menace.
The staff of the New Toulouse Tattler have an unusual craving for shrimp-stuffed mushrooms.
