   New Giant Mushroom Stories
linkyquote:BRAZZAVILLE (Reuters) - A giant three-tiered mushroom which measures a meter (yard) across and was found in the tropical forests of the Republic of Congo has left experts in the capital Brazzaville scratching their heads.  "It''s the first time we''ve ever seen a mushroom like this so it''s difficult for us to classify. But we are going to determine what it is scientifically," Pierre Botaba, head of Congo''s veterinary and zoology center, told reporters on Thursday. The giant fungi stands 18 inches high and has three tiered caps on top of a broad stem. The bottom cap measures one meter across, the second one 60 cm and the top one is 24 cm wide, Botaba said. The bizarre-looking mushroom was found in the village of Mvoula about 38 miles from Brazzaville and transported carefully to the capital by the local chief.I always figured that there was a hell of a lot more giant mushrooms than what the pictures showed. Think about it logically for a bit; only a few scientists are actually around enough to take pictures of the mushroom, imagine how much went on that no one took pictures of at all! 
  Ok, someone clue me in - what the hell is going on? ;  Capitalism! Genetically modified food! Conservative influenced media! BWA.... or, something. ;  Crap post making fun of Mith''s thread.
