DID you KNOW that the largest living organism in the world is a fungus? The Armillaria ostoyae, also known as the "Humongous Fungus," covers over 8.9 square kilometers (3.4 square miles) in Oregon's Blue Mountains.Armillaria ostoyae is the largest organism on Earth, spreading across the northern hemisphere with a weight of up to 35,000 tons. Its interconnected mycelia can cover areas of up to 3.7 square miles. The fungus attacks the roots of trees, weakening their structure and producing root-like structures to spread between them. Although it can be destructive, it plays a vital ecological role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients to support diverse plant and animal life.Armillaria ostoyae produces a striking honey-colored mushroom that is edible, but it has a bitter taste. However, its unique appearance and potential culinary value make it an attractive option for those who are skilled at identifying wild mushrooms."
