Chinese discovered huge mushroom

yunan - A Chinese medicine man has found a huge ten kilo Lingzi mushroom. The mushroom, the size of an umbrella, was proudly displayed on a market in South China Yunan.

It is not just a mushroom. The Lingzi, known as the 'mushroom of immortality', has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. The fungus would lower blood pressure, prevent rheumatism and even cure cancer according to the Chinese.

The mushroom with a diameter of about 105 centimeters is therefore not cheap. Who wants to get a copy must at least 650 euro deposit. Three years ago, a smaller Lingzi mushroom went away for that amount.
