Gigantic mushroom

I have never seen such a huge mushroom but there you have it, although a bit battered by the heavy rain of the last few days. That's my hand, by the way, just to give you an idea of scale. Despite the dreary, grey and wet summer, everything that has managed to survive is bigger. That surely is the opposite of what we thought was true- just goes to show that one never really knows anything!
