    Man pays £85k for a Mushroom!

    The world has gone feckin' mad!!!



    Hong Kong property tycoon Gordan Wu has won the bidding for a prized white truffle at an auction held in northern Italy.

    He paid 125,000 euros (£85,000) for the three-lobed fungus, which could be a new world record. Sarah Penn reports.
