The largest living organism on Earth is the mycelium of the honey fungus, its age is more than 2.5 thousand years
The honey mushroom is recognized as the largest living organism in the world. Or rather, not he himself, but his mycelium, which amazes even experienced mushroom pickers and biologists with its parameters. This giant creature grows in the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon (USA). Its territory covers about 1,000 hectares; about 1,600 football fields could fit on it. The weight of the mycelium Humongous Fungus subspecies Armillaria ostoyae exceeds 600 tons, and its age is more than 2500 years.
