A PENSIONER is puzzled about an enormous mushroom which has grown in his garden.

Jan Wocial, 70, first noticed the whitish-grey fungi in his garden in Addison Road, Bromley, about three weeks ago.

It was only slightly larger than normal but following the recent heavy rain - it mushroomed to 96cm wide.

The retired factory worker wants readers to help him identify the mushroom because he wants to know if he can eat it.

The grandfather-of-four said: "I'm looking at books about mushrooms and I cannot find anything like it.

"It feels rubbery and smells of mushroom and I think it could go in a lot of omelettes."
