Where is the world’s largest living organism?
- 👁️ 11
The largest living organism on Earth is a fungus in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon, USA. The Armillaria ostoyae fungus, commonly known as the honey fungus, spans over 2,400 acres (970 hectares) and is considered a single organism because it shares the same genetic structure. This fungus grows underground in a network of mycelia, infiltrating trees and decaying organic matter. It has been alive for thousands of years, continuing to spread and thrive.
