ELEVEN-POUND MUSHROOM FOUND (Nov, 1936)
ELEVEN-POUND MUSHROOM FOUND
A single mushroom large enough to supply a banquet has been discovered and placed on exhibition in Switzerland. The phenomenal specimen tips the scales at eleven pounds, and measures more than a foot in diameter. In the illustration above, the giant mushroom is shown being weighed, while an observer checks its size with a centimeter scale.
Looks like a puff ball fungus. Saw one last year that was bigger in diameter than this one.
