He went down to check what he thought was a "giant white cat" and to his surprise and intrigue saw the big brute of a fungi.
" I came home from holiday and thought it was a cat lying in the back yard, but saw it was a massive puffball".
He carefully prised it out of its position and took it inside, so amazed and interested to weigh it and it came in at a whopping 1.1kg.
