Growth of mushrooms seen as 'auspicious clouds'

More than 100 white mushrooms grow on a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is made from camphor trees and coated plaster with gold paint, at a temple in Nanjing county, East China's Fujian province, Aug 26, 2013. The wet camphor wood met high temperatures, creating the growth, a local official explained. The statue is 2.68 meters tall, with a base width of 1.48 meters. White mushrooms growing on the statue were seen as Xiangyun, or "auspicious clouds," bringing blessings and harmony to local residents. [Photo/CFP]
