Giant White Mushrooms

Rong Guiling, a mushroom farmer from Gongcheng in southern China has more than 10

fields of giant white mushrooms of all different species. Guiling says: “It’s hard to find a

mushroom which is less than 2kg (4.4 lbs) However, when I bought the spores the person

said they were for normal little white mushrooms.” Local agricultural experts say the

mushrooms’ size could possibly be down to the fertilizer she uses, which includes lotus seed

shell powder, peanut powder and maize powder.
