A woman who found a giant 5kg (11lb) mushroom on a country walk said the vegetable fed her family for a whole week.
Alissimon Minnitt, 27, was walking with her father in a field in North Marston, near Winslow in Buckinghamshire, when they spotted the enormous fungi in the grass.
“It fed my family for a week… I’ve been eating it ever since. I still have three slices left in my freezer. I’ll be honest – I’m a little bit sick of it,” she said.
The musician is a keen forager with “an interest in mushrooms”, and said she knew how to identify it and not mistake it for something poisonous.
