A giant fungus the size of a tyre has been found by villagers in China's Jianshui County.
The large clump of mushrooms, which weighed more than 15 kilograms and measured nearly a metre in diameter, was proudly put on display by the finder.
It is not known what type of fungus it is or whether the mushrooms are safe to eat.

Fungi acres in size can be found in Michigan’s UP and I believe in Washington state.

Oh, Gus the gardener’s left now and you went with him, too
The fungus here reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you
Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown
The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn’t face the fuchsia all alone
And my tears
fell like raindrops
from the sky above
And poisoned all the flowers
in my garden of love
-Benny Hill
