found this story wow what a pumpkin

Fact is always stranger than fiction.  Here is martin with his record breaking pumpkin.

Bavarian Martin Reiss planted the pumpkin at the end of April and harvested it in September when it was 88 days old.  This pumpkin set a new European record for pumpkins.



I love everything about this giant pumpkin story.  For example, the coincidence of the 88 days and the 88 stone.  Also the fact that measurement is in good old fashioned stone, even though mark lives in Germany.


also this too
Giant Mushroom

Just the job to stuff your giant pumpkin.


A more than 20-kilo (41-lb) mushroom has been picked in a forest in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas. The white mushroom, macrocybe titans, measured a towering 70 cm (27 in) tall, was found near Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala.
