万博の見学初日梅雨明けり
梅雨明けや早くも空に給水器
梅雨明けの万博懸念熱中症
パビリオン酷暑に長き待時間
炎天下九十分の待ち時間
炎天に当日予約売切れて
炎天下入館断念大屋根へ
大屋根の上をまん歩や姫女苑
白南風に杉の香仄か大リング
片陰におっかけっこや大リング
冷房に一息つきしパビリオン
UAEすぐ入館出来て涼みけり
涼みつつ医療の進歩学びけり
(薫風士)

爛々と昼の星見え菌生え
(ranran-to hiru-no-hoshi-mie kinoko-hae)
（高浜虚子）
the daylight star
looks glaring_
mushrooms grow
(Translated by Lovee)
(Note)
This haiku was composed by Kyohi Takahama as a farewell tribute to people in Koromo City.
He lived in Koromo for about three years after moving there for refuge from air raid during the war.
They gave mushrooms (=茸）to Kyoshi for a farewell present.
I think the word ’daylight star’ means "太陽" (= the sun), because the word ’爛欄’ (=glaring) is used for describing it.
In the case of this haiku, it is possible to express the word 'kinoko' by either of '茸' or '菌', though the latter letter was adopted.
The letter '菌' can also mean 'germ' when it is read as 'kin'.
It seems that Kyoshi intended to express the whole great nature by referring to the greatest thing "daylight star (sun=太陽) and the smallest thing "fungus" (kinoko=菌).
