A possible record-breaking mushroom was discovered in a small Chinese village. The fungus is displayed in the clip posted above.

The monster mushroom has been described as being the size of a tire. It was discovered in southwest Yunnan province, French Tribune reported.

It features 100 caps fixed at the base, and residents in the area are coming in at Puxiong Township in China's Jianshui County just to see the unusual fungus.

It weighs 15 kilograms (33 pounds) and measures about a meter (3.28 feet) in diameter. Many are saying that it is worthy of a Guinness World of Records title, but there is no information from Guinness at this time.

The fungus is currently on display, and no one knows its type and whether or not it can be consumed.
