Big A$$ Mushroom

        So a couple days ago I was walking around and noticed this humongous mushroom cap lurking over my head. Although I see mushrooms all the time, this one took me by surprise due to its size. The edge of the cap was a good foot away from the trunk and it was a thick as my head at the thickest point! After a little research I concluded that this is a Pleurotus Dryinus variety of mushroom. They commonly grow around this area and chances are you have probably already seen a few in your time.

    It is hard for me to identify it from the photograph. We will take a look at the one at the school and you can compare it.
