This week’s mash ended up being a kind of theme around the parts, pictures and issues of the real world that seem like they are straight out of a storybook. Whether novel-informed architecture, children’s hopes come to life, or mushroom photography that looks like the setting of any number of fantasy books, here’s the weekly mash. Enjoy, and add your own links to other mashable real-world story articles below!

The magic is in taking their imagination and turning it into reality, supporting the belief that anything is possible.”

Even though these photos are from the “supermoon” on May 5, they look like they are straight out of the sequel to E.T. no doubt.
