RESIDENTS of Punggol Regalia have previously taken to the Internet to complain about mushrooms sprouting from the wooden doors in their new BTO flat. According to a post in their private Facebook group, the "Regalians" (as they called themselves) had also sent an official complain to HDB for clarifications.
However, the fiasco took an unexpected turn. One Regalian, Mr Seah Teng Huat, took a sample of the growth to his work laboratory and made a shocking discovery after a test was conducted on his species. The mushrooms growing out of his doors were scientifically known as Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as Lingzhi.
Still trembling with excitement with his discovery, Mr Seah told Condemn Nation News that the total growth rate of his productive doors can yield about 8 kg of Lingzhi per month.
"I have checked the market rate with a few interested buyers. They are offering me about $90/kg for them!" Mr Seah quipped.
His monthly harvest will approximately yield him about $720 a month on current market prices.

Upon Mr Seah's golden discovery, the Regalians' Facebook group suddenly came alive with countless discussions about their prized produce. They planned to pool their resources and market their Lingzhi under the Royal Regalian Lingzhi branding. One resident even came out with a design with Mr Seah's portrait under the brand logo and was voted the winning entry among other nominated designs.
"We hope this revolutionary movement will inspire more Singaporeans to consider agricultural options under their own roofs," said Mr Seah.
Singaporeans can expect to find the Royal Regalian Lingzhi on the shelves just in time for the coming Chinese New Year.
