“蓝瘦香菇 lán she xiāng gū – “blue skinny / thin mushroom” became an internet phenomenon in China almost overnight.  It is however not about mushroom.

The “蓝瘦香菇 lán shòu xiāng gū” expression in Pǔtōnghuà (Mandarin) is:

难受 nán shòu – feeling sad

想哭 xiǎng kū – want to cry

The “蓝瘦香菇 lán shòu xiāng gū” pronunciation is the Nanning local dialect, a city in southern China.
