Lightning Powered Mushrooms?

Has anyone ever tried anything similar to this at all? Would it be realistic? I'm just curious, it's probably a dumb question, but yeah. I just read this and was wondering if it was ever tried or thought of or if similar techniques are used?

Wow, I really hope so! Looks like a winner, just hope someone is smart enough to come up with
the "wardrobe lightning tek" for us dummies =)

That is pretty cool

Would a taser/stun gun work, maybe?

Very interesting, that is some amazing info Me Being somewhat of an electrician deff inspired me to try to think of ideas.

Any other electricians on the site.
I had an idea maybe have a wire hook it directly to your breaker and the other end to the mushroom flip the switch, or same set up but on the mushroom end touch the two black And white wires together causing a short maybe it will shoot out a lot of electricity to the mushroom.
The amount electricity will deff have to be calculated i know a normal home runs about 250amps maybe if someone could help me work from there.

Any feedBack or ideas To if you think this would work?

I Dont know about what everyone else thinks, but i think this could be a PERFECT application of a marx generator(super high voltage arc caused by linking many high voltage capacitors together in a chain, and connecitng them via certain resistors(never built one, its just one my to-do list)
