In NASA Simulation of Life on Other Planets, Fungi Finds 'Mushroom' to Multiply
The mushroom, weighing 8 kilograms with a perimeter of 1.8 meters, is the largest and heaviest of its kind ever found in the region, though it cannot be eaten because it is toxic. The manor in the transitional area between tropical and subtropical climate allegedly provides good environment for fungi to grow.

At present, it has been transplanted to a secluded forest to prevent tourists from accidentally eating it.
