EntertainmentMushroom is higher than 10m
Chinese biologists discovered giant mushrooms with a height of more than 10m and a volume of up to half a ton in Hainan Province.

The results of the mushroom density test showed that its mass was between 400 and 500 kg. It is large enough to hold about 450 million spores.
