A local on Nanao Island to the east of Guangdong Province recently found a
giant glossy ganoderma - a rare type of fungus used in traditional Chinese
medicine - while collecting herbs.
Measuring 70 centimetres long, over 50 centimetres wide and weighing three
kilograms, it is the largest recorded specimen found in the province.
Shaped like a buckhorn, it is not only large, but also thick, reports the
Guangzhou Daily.
