East Lothian forager finds puffball mushroom four times the size of their head

An East Lothian musician stumbled across a giant puffball mushroom when out foraging in a field between Innerwick and Spott.

Séimí Rowan, 28, who grew up in Edinburgh but now lives in Dunbar told how the mega fungi was three to four times the size of their head.

The puffball was so large that they were able to create mushroom steaks and a jar of caramelised puffball puree as well as being able to store cubes of the shroom and give large chunks away. Séimí made the discovery on a field at Brunt Hill and says that they could not believe their eyes.
