Giant Mushroom in Montpelier 2020-09-26 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Earl Coffey was tending to chores on his tractor when he spotted what looked to possibly be a dead animal in the grassy edge of Coffeygrounds Farm woods that lead down to Cabin Fork Creek. He would discover not a dead animal, but a record size mushroom the likes of which no one in the neighborhood has ever seen. Measurements were documented by his brother Joe in case it needs to be nominated for a prize at the fair. Standing by the mushroom on the pickup truck bed are the discoverer and witnesses, from left: Marilyn and Earl Coffey, Gary Darling, Joe Coffey and Joseph South.
