Los Angeles being the home to Hollywood, the city of imagination, it’s little wonder that it’s had a treasure trove of mimetic architecture over the years. I’d love to have seen this one in person: The Mushrooms looked like a giant mushroom surrounded by toadstool seating. It stood at 3500 W Olive Ave. in what is listed as Los Angeles but I assume is Burbank. It opened in 1928 when I doubt there was much traffic around so I wonder how long it lasted—especially as I doubt those toadstool seats were very comfy!
