Giant Mushroom in Montpelier 2020-09-26 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Earl Coffey was tending to chores on his tractor when he spotted what looked to possibly be a dead animal in the grassy edge of Coffeygrounds Farm woods that lead down to Cabin Fork Creek. He would discover not a dead animal, but a record size mushroom the likes of which no one in the neighborhood has ever seen.

Standing by the mushroom on the pickup truck bed are the discoverer and witnesses, from left: Marilyn and Earl Coffey, Gary Darling, Joe Coffey and Joseph South.
