James BryceA MASSIVE mushroom weighing more than six kilos has been found in Spain.
Two men discovered the enormous fungi, alongside another weighing two kilos, while working in a field in Asturias.
The edible mushroom – known locally as wolf’s fart – belongs to the Lycoperdon Perlatum variety.
But its fate is undecided with finders Salvador and Ramon wanting to put it on show while the local bars are vying for a piece to serve as tapas.
“My first thought was what an amazing tortilla I am going to make!” said one resident.
This is more likely a Calvatia species rather than Lycoperdon perlatum! The latter don’t get that big!
Calvatia can get even bigger!
Hmnnn, chomp….chomp – tasty, not bad at all…. still chewing.. first mouthful… chat later….. maybe.
OK guys! Who brought the wine?!
Michael – a learned comment, thanks. But you should see a “Giganta Italiano Feminina” – these fat fungi sometimes get to be 110 KILOS! Motte Bene!!??!!
