Earl Coffey placed his hand on the giant mushroom he discovered on the family farm to help demonstrate its extraordinary size. After 24 hours away from its roots the mushroom was turning dark in color as mushrooms do, and becoming quite odiferous. Neighbor Gary Darling said he'd once tried to eat a bit of this type wild white mushroom and it had been followed by worrisome stomach troubles so he recommended observation only. Joe Coffey took exacting tools and documented the mushroom's measurements for the record - it's 62 inches around/circumference, 7.5 inches tall and 16.5 inches across/width.
