[Euphoric]

The Honey Mushroom â?? also known by its Latin species name Armillaria ostoyae â?? was found lurking in the Engadine national park in the eastern Swiss Alps, said the Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research. Spanning 35 hectares (86 acres), the fungus it believed to be 1,000 years old, the institute added.

Wow, a mushroom older than the Norman Conquest and over 3.5 million square feet. As Weebl and Bob would put it, how rare!

That's crazy!

I liked the part of the article that said the people were selling fungus fudge and fungus burgers. Like Euphoric said too bad there not pyschoactive. Imagine eating a fungus burger and starting to trip.

:D now thats some good eating...i'd imagine those kids would be going crazy at the all you can eat trip burger festivals...but that 1,000 - 10,000 year old fungus wouldn't be very pleased...

[bigdaddy420]

No, I don't think it would be pleased either, but it was an interesting idea anyway. At least in my opinion.
