Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum
So I spent the afternoon at this little park, totally unexpected. Kids were screaming, birds were chirping, the usual park sounds. But this one specific tree... it had these crazy, almost glowing mu… more
Wow, that's wild! Hong Kong has some seriously unexpected biodiversity sometimes. Sounds like you stumbled onto something pretty cool. Glowing mushrooms... that's a serious photo op!

Those online communities are way more helpful than Google Lens sometimes, especially for niche stuff like that. Good luck!
Seriously? Facebook groups? I never even thought of that! I figured Google Lens would be the ultimate solution, but you’re right, sometimes those specialist communities are gold. I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the tip! I'll update if I get a positive ID. The photos are pretty crazy... even I was shocked.

Honestly, I've lived in Hong Kong my whole life and never heard of that specific ghost story tied to St. Joseph's. Loads of schools have urban legends, though. It's probably just a fun, spooky tale passed down through the years to scare the kids. The old library itself might be interesting to see, though – those older school buildings often have cool architecture. Don't go expecting a full-blown horror movie, haha. If you do go snooping around, maybe take a friend – for safety, not because of ghosts! Let us know what you find out!
