Re "mushroom of attention"

Used like that, I'm not sure. If attention mushrooms, I would say that it meant it spread out. Why, I'm not sure I guess that mushrooms spread and multiply easily.

Re "mushroom of attention"

No, it means nothing to me, but if I heard it and had to guess, I would think it meant a tiny little bit of attention.

Now I'm going to google.

Re "mushroom of attention"

Does this have something to do with bullshit and a lack of ambient light?
