Monster Mushroom Sprawls in Switzerland


Europe's biggest mushroom growth, spanning an area 800 by 500 meters, has been discovered in a Swiss national park, scientists said Friday.

The 1,000-year-old fungus, covering an area equivalent to around 100 football pitches, was found near the Ofenpass in the mountainous southeastern canton (state) of Grisons and judged to be a single growth after a detailed survey.
