A rather large mushroom...

From the Hidden History of Rock and Roll by Roy G Biv:

"Screaming Spanish Walter and the Oak Buzz rose from the ashes of the Azzo Buzzo Band like some demented phoenix with lopsided wings only to crash and burn after one legendary show at a church coffee house in Northern California late in 1969.  Spanish Walter aka George Schrub aka George Stump aka Dave Lippman continues to tour the world with his pithy political satire.

The Oak Buzz has never been heard from again."

There's an underground mushroom in oregon that is the size of several large football fields, can you imagine?

Hi Roach, yes there are several underground shrooms, just large matts of mycelia growing underground. But I only consider shrooms above ground to be shrooms.  And of course truffles.  In oregon on the coast, matsutake grow underground around pines growing in sandy areas.

But yes, there are aseveral underground large shroom masses. I think even Michigan has one or Minnesota.  Washington has one.

I ahve articles somewher ein my filing cabinets, but am not sure where.

And then there are giant puff balls, some seighed as much as 800 pounds in Europe and many 15-30 pounds or more.

I am pretty sure the C02 plays a role in stem size though. So it is about 02/C02 ratios and genetics and substrate and light. [/i]

Bob Harris, in his book, Growing Wild Mushrooms talks of the ten inch (picture included) Psilocybe cubensis found in Texas.
