Holy Smokes! A Chinese farmer by the name of Li Qingli has developed a mushroom growing method that produces massive clusters of fruit bodies. The technique seems simple–give them plenty of space. It sure seems to work judging by the photos at Giant Fungi. According to that news post the clusters weight in at 10-20 kg.

It’s kind of hard to tell exactly what kind of mushrooms they are but they could be Pleurotus spp. Any ideas on that?
