Mushrooms does exist - I've been reading some of these posts, and only 1 person seems to have a clue where this spot is. I wouldn't even really call it a spot...it's a big, hella drop with a throwing right peak into a flat shoulder. Yeah, a big take-off which dissolves into nothing.
BTW you retards, it's on the north end of the small bay/cove at Popotla. DUH.
