Largest fungus by area

What to remember

In the Malheur National Forest, in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, a single fungus spreads over 8.9 km². This Armillaria ostoyae colony is the largest fungal colony in the world, possibly weighing as much as 35,000 tons.

Among living things counted as single entities, the largest are clonal colonies able to spread over large areas.

The mass is only an estimate, qualified with a "possibly". Area is the measure used for the record.
