It's not just people who set records. There are records of weather, animals, and even vegetation.
For example, many people are sure that bamboo is considered the fastest growing plant. Without going into botanical details, this is not entirely true.
The fastest growing mushroom on earth is the common stinkhorn, which is scientifically called phallus impudicus.
In addition, this mushroom is edible and is especially prized by French chefs.
However, people call this mushroom all sorts of names.
The reason for this is the external data and the name of the family - phallus, as well as other features.
In particular, for his appearance he is called a “shameful person”, “an immodest phallus” or “the devil’s egg”.
Due to its rapid growth characteristics, the veselka was nicknamed "upstart".
In addition, in different countries the mushroom is known as "gouty morel" or "stinking morel".
But all these circumstances did not prevent the mushroom from being included in the famous book of records (and specifically in the “plants” category).
The reason for this is the speed of growth: in just one minute, its cap increases by 5 millimeters.
That is, in just an hour the mushroom can grow to an impressive 30 cm (these facts are also known).
In its normal state it is found within 10-30 cm.
There is another characteristic feature of this mushroom. The larger it is, the worse it smells (rotten and carrion).
However, French chefs collect the veselka when it is immature and serve it raw with salt and sour cream.
