World's Largest Shroom
    #5926417 - 08/02/06 06:51 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/fungus1.html

Excerpt:
What is probably the largest living organism on earth has been discovered in the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon. A fungus living three feet underground is estimated to cover 2,200 acres. After testing samples from various locations, scientists say it is all one organism.

All I can say is hoooooooooooooooly shieeeeeet.

No offense, but its nothing new. Fungi have BEEN known to be the largest "organism" to exist. Also, your thread title is misleading.

Sorry, but an organism stretching over a thousand football fields in size is pretty... amazing. And any mushroom is a shroom to me.

"Alternate claimants to the title of largest and longest lived include Posidonia oceanica, a seaweed off the island of Ibiza and Armillaria ostoyae, a fungus in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon."

Officially known as Armillaria ostoyae, or the honey mushroom, the fungus is 3.5 miles across and takes up 1,665 football fields.




I eat them quite often, they're similar to shiitake mushrooms  :tongue:

wiggles, hello!
The shroom is the fruit that spawns above ground.
The stuff underground that spawns the shroom is called mycelium.
This mycelium is what you're referencing when you say it covers 2,200 acres.  :mushroom2:

Probably not coming back to argue the point with you at this stage matw.  :grin:

Did you ever see pics of those giant puftballs? Dunno if they're the biggest ones but are pretty memorable. Edible apparently too.
