- Solkre, on 10/11/2007, -3/+100When we find historically large things in the wild why is it our instinct to kill the damn thing?
- pwallroth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+80Where is that super mario digg button when you need it.
- Radionesiac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+79and he was promptly killed by a 500-foot badger.
- Galaeron, on 10/11/2007, -5/+79So lets uproot it and not see how big it actually grows.
- thekronz, on 10/11/2007, -6/+79Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!
- madman75, on 10/11/2007, -0/+64What did he do with the talking caterpiller smoking the bong that was sitting on it?
- sparty1969, on 10/11/2007, -2/+56Now all he needs is a 500lb steak and 50 gallons of beer.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+51Abiogenesis. Smurfette was created by Gargamel in order to infiltrate & destroy the Smurfs' perfect Socialist Worker's Paradise. This didn't work, as although the other Smurfs fell in love with her, none of them have genitals, so it was moot.
What, you didn't know the Smurfs are Commies? True. - SmokeyB, on 10/11/2007, -3/+52Whores get paid. She's a slut!
- aussieNickuss, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41I'm digging this just for the description.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+37Holy ***** a huge mushroom! Quick, rip it out of the ground!!!!!
- compujunkie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32...holy *****!
- LemurHorde, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29Info and more pictures for those curious: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/macrocybe_titans.html
The edibility is unknown, but others in the family Tricholomataceae are edible. I wouldn't recommend trying though. - Thygrrr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+30Great, he ripped it out with the mycel ("root"), meaning it won't grow back again... ever.
- Speedy7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27Made with Earth®, Water® and Nutrients®, actually.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26No, the guy is just, like, really small.
- TKn00b, on 10/11/2007, -6/+26I, for one, welcome our new mushroom overlords.
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20You can tell by the cap that it's done growing.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19We are humans. That's what we do.
:( - lordsandwich, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20I'm getting high just looking at that thing.
- kasama, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Thats nothing, I'm from Zambia where mushrooms that size are common and very tasty.
Only example I could find:

- 98acura, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17snake! a snake!
- eighttracks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe they exist.
- chid, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17There is very little mycelium visible in the picture, so no reason to assume he ripped it out. Also, the size of the mycelial network required to grow a sporocarp that big would be substantial, so it's unlikely they would have been able to pull out the whole thing by accident.
- poseitom, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Yes it are
- kiwimonk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16Kinda makes you wonder what they put in the bloody soil to make our coffee grow. :/
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17WTF kind of grammar is that, Yodaspeak? :p
- aussieNickuss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14....oh no its a snake! ah....badger badger badger badger................
- radio4fan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Fair point, but in this case it's only one of the fruits. The organism will still be alive.
- small3687, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Mario jumps on that ***** and he'll be huge. Hello Big World.
- fatpads, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Way to bring in unrelated political opinion into a thread about a mushroom.
Go on, talk about Ron Paul or iPhone I dares ya'. - dvsbastard, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13...
Double post caused by accidental double click... My bad... - poseitom, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15which colour gets a smurf when he suffocates?
- robjohnston, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11and he dug it up??
- stauken, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15You're why cops prosecute those 'dope-smoking hippie kids' -- Sarcastic or not.
- threemagic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11To bad it's not a Morel... mmmmm
- Amoeba16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Nice umbrella.
- Kyosuke86, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Why didnt that guy leave it alone so it could grow into a 42 pound mushroom?
- teadrinker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Do you kill an apple tree by picking an apple? The mushroom is just a fruiting body. And this one has already grown to maximum size (the cap is completely open). Left alone it would rot in a day or two.
- jlimon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10http://youtube.com/watch?v=q3CKa4UoS3o
I think this answers it even better. - MarkOfTheDead, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10if we can't ***** it or eat it we kill it.
- Langford, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9If I remember, a baby Smurf appears every time there is a blue moon. That of course could have been a euphemism Papa Smurf used to hide something far more graphic from his younger more sensitive Smurfs. The truth may be too shocking to tell.
- popothebright, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9This is how it begins... soon the mushrooms will take over the world....
(Nausicaa ftw?) - pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10looks like some Radiation® too.
- jimmoses, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9"Edibility unknown". Hmm, methinks it's one of these mushrooms you only enjoy once.
- scubasteve377, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8As explained by Donnie Darko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3CKa4UoS3o&NR=1.
- dvsbastard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I'm pretty sure historically when killing things in the wild we have never discriminated against size...
- Terr01, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I think most mushrooms are just fruiting bodies for the larger network of fungi underground, so ripping it out may or may not "kill the mushroom".
