Default MONSTER MUSHROOMS above ground-down-below-ground tree-trunk

Very large tree got sick and had to come down.

Then the usual "grinding-down of the stump". (I then paid more and
got it ground down even more, to maybe 1 foot beneath the surface.)

Around the (alive) tree was a rock-edged circle, radius maybe 6 feet,
ground within raised up maybe 6 inches.

Anyway, after the tree was taken down and stump ground way down, we
turned that rock-edged circle into a garden, lots of different plants,
flowers, etc.

Lots of rain in the last two or three weeks. So of course some mushrooms
appear here and there in the lawn. SMALL mushrooms.

But, in that rock-edged garden, good lord!, LOTS of mushrooms, MONSTER
mushrooms. Each being between maybe 8 inches to ONE FOOT across (ie diameter).


A foot across! - I'M DROOLING!

Best I can ever get is a chicken-of-the-woods about the size of a
grapefruit.
