Interesting fact about mushrooms #8
Fungi Are The Largest Life Forms on Earth
Fungal mycelium can grow and expand for miles under the ground as they go in search of food.
The largest living organism on the planet is a single honey mushroom (Armillaria ostoyae) in the Malheur National Forest, Oregon, USA.
It’s around 3.5 miles (5.6 km ) wide, occupies an area of 965 hectares (2,385 acres), and is at least 2,400 years old. But could be much older.
It also holds the record for being the world’s largest fungus.
