some kind of mushroom but she'd never

seen anything like it before still that
0:37
didn't stop her from trying to feed it

discovered in Felker Scotland park
1:11
ranger fiona Wishard was out walking the
1:13
Scottish countryside
1:14
when she stumbled upon an odd and giant
1:16
discovery she realized it was a mushroom
1:19
but it was so large and heavy that no
1:22
one believed it could possibly be real
1:23
weighing in at a whopping 24 pounds and
1:26
measuring 59 inches in diameter this
1:29
puffball mushroom was undoubtedly
1:31
enormous in fact viola and a colleague
1:34
from the FEL Kirk City Council had to
1:36
carry it back to their office using her
1:39
coat as a bag when Fiona arrived back at
1:42
the office she and her colleagues began
1:44
photographing these humongous fungus in
1:46
all of her years serving as a park
1:48
ranger she'd never seen anything quite
1:50
like it before what she did next was
1:53
pretty crazy though afterward Fiona
1:55
decided to cut the puffball mushroom
1:57
into pieces and divide them evenly
2:00
amongst her 15 coworkers it was enormous
2:03
and I've never seen anything like it I
2:05
picked it up but couldn't carry it to
2:07
the car it was just an awkward big ball
2:09
she said in an interview
2:11
Fiona couldn't believe how many people
2:13
she was able to feed with the gigantic
2:15
puffball mushroom nevertheless she was
2:18
excited by her rare find it was shared
2:20
out among 15 people in our office who
2:23
ate it dipped in bread and fried that
2:25
night she said well just about anyone
2:28
would consider Fiona's puffball huge
2:30
people have found much larger shrooms in
2:32
fact past reports claimed puffball
2:34
mushrooms have been found weighing as
2:36
much as 44 pounds can you imagine how
2:39
many meals those would make those in
2:42
search of these shrooms typically
2:44
discover the largest ones in the late
2:46
summer and early autumn not only are
2:48
they a visual spectacle but they're also
2:50
perfectly fine to eat evidently they
2:53
have a marshmallow like texture mushroom
2:56
s'mores anyone well Fiona and the FEL
2:59
Kirk Ranger services primary goal is to
