Stalker knows we’ve covered this territory before, but it is always worth a reminder, just because it's so “awesome”!
It’s bigger than an elephant, bigger than a blue whale, the largest organism on earth may not be what you expect.
The biggest mushroom in the world, armillaria ostoyae or as it’s been fondly nicknamed the Humongous Fungus.
Covering 2,385 acres of Malheur National Forest, Oregon, it’s our largest organism, and from the way the fungus has been growing, it may also be our oldest organism. Humongous is estimated to be around 2,400 years – 8,650 years old.
Think of the stories that have happened in all the time it has existed. Makes the mind boggle.
