If it's girth you go for, look no further than Tapa's own Vaino Rei. A man who knows his mushrooms, he was nevertheless taken aback on Tuesday to come across a rough-stemmed boletus weighing in at a whopping 1.4 kilograms. "We've never seen one that big before," said his friends.
Rei himself, a seasoned picker, understandably made headlines with his find. "I couldn't pick any more mushrooms after this one," he said. "They wouldn't fit in the basket!"

That is such an Estonian story . . .
Apparently he made the front page of that newspaper everyone reads, the Virumaa Teataja. It was, like, page 5 news in Postimees too. Mind you, it is a pretty impressive mushroom.
Oh, right, the Virumaa Teataja . . . that essential publication . . .
That's pretty big.....so was their incredible revolution. I just ran into a website about Estonia the other day - it is a Documentary about Estonia's Singing Revolution:
