The Biggest Enoki Mushrooms/一番大きなエノキタケ

First of all, I want you to take a look at this:
まずはこれを見て下さい。

The biggest enoki mushrooms I have ever seen. Like I said before, these overgrown ones are not for sale; I got them from a friend who runs an enoki mushroom factory.
今まで見た中で一番大きなエノキタケです。前に言った通り、この大きくなり過ぎたエノキは売り物ではなく、エノキタケ工場を経営するお友達から頂いたものです。
Some of them are really huge, almost 3 cm in diameter.
本当に大きいのもあります。直径3センチ近く。

Besides, they are so beautiful!
それにとてもキレイです。
How can I not make miso soup with them?
味噌汁を作らないではいられません。

The photos above are for those of you who appreciate the beauty of mushrooms (laugh).
これらの写真はキノコの美しさを理解できる人のためのものです(笑)。
Edited to add another photo:
写真をもう一枚追加します:
