Shroom-tastic!
What a...Fungi! It would take just one of these to feed a whole family!
(CH) What a...Fungi! It would take just one of these to feed a whole family!
On Monday morning, a couple living near Clervaux in north Luxembourg found three giant mushrooms, each the size of a football.
Léonard and Denise Lannantuono left their home in the early hours of Monday morning to head out mushroom picking, however five minutes later they were done!
They found three giant puffballs (Luxembourgish: “Dréischer”). The three fungi altogether weighed 4.7kg. “What a stroke of luck,” they exclaimed, obviously pleased with their find and looking forward to sharing their shroom-tastic discovery with friends and family.
The humid and moderately warm weather means that mushrooms have grown extremely rapidly in recent weeks. It looks like mushroom lovers are in for a good end of season!
Certainly Léonard and Denise Lannantuono will be "fungis" to be with for some time.
