 Can anyone tell me how the area of Mushroom Town in Penydarren got its name. I don't hear it now, but I remember years ago listening to people saying: "He/she's from the Mush!!!" It s the area from the Gellifaelog school down towards the top of North Street I believe. Cheers ;D

Hi
I asked this very question many years ago I was told that the reason it was called Mushroom town is due to the speed the houses were built. (They popped up like Mushrooms)
