Wild lobster mushrooms from Oregon for sale at San Francisco's Rainbow Grocery. The bright orange appearance is caused by a fungus. This fungus dramatically increases the flavor of the mushroom. Use these in any dish that calls for mushrooms, they will add a unique flavor and beautiful color.

Two things:
1. Does anyone else find it kind of mean that the lobster trap is in the lobster tank exhibit?
2. One of the many moments at the aquarium when a few members of our party exclaimed, "I've eaten that!"
The reason lobster dinners are so popular in Maine, USA, is a combination of historical tradition, geographic advantage, and a well-established local industry. Maine's rugged coastline and cold, clear waters provide the ideal habitat for the *Homarus americanus*, or American lobster. These conditions are believed to produce a sweeter, more tender meat than those found in warmer waters. For centuries, the indigenous Wabanaki people relied on the abundance of seafood, including lobster, which later became a staple for early colonists.
However, the lobster's status was far from the delicacy it is today. For a long time, it was so plentiful that it was considered "poverty food," used as fertilizer for crops or served to prisoners and indentured servants. It wasn't until the mid-19th century that its reputation began to change. Advancements in transportation, particularly the expansion of railroads, made it possible to ship live lobsters inland to growing urban markets like Boston and New York. This newfound accessibility elevated its status, and it began to appear on upscale restaurant menus.
As lobster's reputation grew, so did the industry in Maine. The state's fishing communities became masters of the trade, developing sustainable fishing practices that have been passed down through generations. Today, Maine is the largest lobster-producing state in the nation, with a massive industry that supports a significant portion of its coastal economy. The sight of lobster boats in the harbors and the rows of buoys dotting the water is a quintessential part of the state's identity.
Ultimately, the popularity of a Maine lobster dinner is rooted in its freshness and authenticity. Tourists and locals alike come to Maine for the genuine experience of eating a lobster that was likely caught that very day. Whether it's a traditional steamed lobster with melted butter, a classic lobster roll, or a creamy lobster bisque, the meal is more than just food; it's a taste of Maine's history, culture, and coastal way of life.

Lobster Mushroom is not a mushroom, but rather a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on certain species of mushrooms
Funny how someone's still maintaining the landscaping as if nothing happened! General Mills Restaurant Group owned the Red Lobster brand back in August 1983 when the deal was struck to build here. Red Lobster was possibly still opened until February 5, 2008, a date you'll start seeing a lot of as we get closer to Hickory Ridge Mall. That's the day that a tornado bounced through.
It's uncertain if that tornado's how this Red Lobster met it's demise, although I've seen something elsewhere "kind-of" confirming this! It's also uncertain exactly when the 2008 aerial photo was taken, but from above the building looked to be quite salvageable, although looks can certainly be deceiving.
On a somewhat-related note, a large tract of land (seen in 1981) had been cleared behind the Red Lobster, most likely for a large never-built shopping center. UPDATE: For a while this was the site of a rather large nightclub called Spurs. The land still remained in 1990, although deterioration had set in by then, and per comments below the owner of Spurs torched the place! Eventually this became the site of a school.
