Ginormous Lingzhi Mushroom of Immortality Found in Guangxi China

A scary-big fungus was recently photographed on display at a specialty shop in Hezhou, Guangxi. The ganoderma lucidum, known as the lingzhi mushroom in China, measures 107 centimeters in diameter, weighs 7.5 kilograms and is probably large enough to protect Kim Jong-un and his entire entourage during a rainstorm.

The lingzhi mushroom has been used in the practice of Chinese Traditional Medicine for over 2,000 years and is regarded as the "herb of spiritual potency" for attributed health benefits including the control of blood glucose levels, modulation of the immune system, hepatoprotection and more. It's also believed that the 'shroom increases longevity, thus why this particularly gigantic fungus has been dubbed the "mushroom of immortality".
