MONSTER MUSH A RECORD
The Times – Friday 13th September 2002

Restaurant boss Filippo Crolla could not believe his eyes when he discovered this giant mushroom.
Filippo found the devil’s saddle fungus near Kelso, in the Borders.
He said: “it is edible but, sadly, it’s far too tough.”
The 20lb beast is now on display at his L’Alba D’Oro chip shop in Henderson Row, Edinburgh.
Experts at the city’s Royal Botanical Gardens said it was the biggest one of its type they had ever seen.
