Unusual Nature Discovery in Millstreet
Con Lehane of Aubane, Millstreet pictured with what appears to be an enormous "mushroom" which he recently found at Dromsicane, Millstreet. We thank Con for alerting us to this very unusual nature discovery. (S.R.)

Looks like a Giant Puffball, and believe it or not, it’s edible if it is … but you have to be careful at the stage of picking, and not to confuse it with an earthball (make sure it’s white all the way through).
I have seen them from time to time, but they are not too common.
