China is booming, and its swelling economy is not the only mighty aspect of the country. Recently scientist came upon the largest ever fruiting body of a fungus yet recorded.
The outsized specimen- that is of the type F. ellipsoidea or as it’s also called, a bracket fungus- was discovered growing on the underside of a tree in China. Measuring up to 10m in length and 80cm in width, the giant piece of curiosity weighs half a tonne- impressive vital statistics that have taken scientists by surprise.
The fungus that previously held the record in the size stakes is a fungus growing in Kew Gardens in the UK.
