This is about trees.
.. Sorry to disappoint some of you, but read the title again.

Behold the Pando aspen clone, a sprawling carpet of vibrant green-yellow quaking aspens occupying more than 100 acres outside the Fishlake National Forest in Utah.

The "Trembling Giant," as it is known, is actually a massive single organism connected by one sprawling root system. This ancient marvel of nature is thousands of years old -- scientists don't know exactly how old -- and is considered the largest living organism on Earth.


Aspen Clone


.. But I thought there was a moss that went from Michigan to Wisconsin or something like that, that was the "The Biggest" - maybe in another category.

I'll have to look it up.

I think there is a fungi the is the largest in terms of area, but the tree one has more mass.

(OP stuff)


Fake News!! Fake News!!
CNN prints nothing but LIES

Next time you purchase white button mushrooms at the grocery store, just remember, they may be cute and bite-size but they have a relative out west that occupies some 2,384 acres (965 hectares) of soil in Oregon's Blue Mountains. Put another way, this humongous fungus would encompass 1,665 football fields, or nearly four square miles (10 square kilometers) of turf.

... apparently "Largest" in a different category:
the debate of what constitutes an individual organism. "It's one set of genetically identical cells that are in communication with one another that have a sort of common purpose or at least can coordinate themselves to do something," Volk explains.

Both the giant blue whale and the humongous fungus fit comfortably within this definition. So does the 6,615-ton (six-million-kilogram) colony of a male quaking aspen tree and his clones that covers 107 acres (43 hectares) of a Utah mountainside.

Does moss have organs? Actually do trees have organs? Is a cell an organ?

Well, according to Stormy Daniels, his wiener looks like a mushroom but is not very big though.

Could have a sketch artist draw what Stormy saw and compare it to drawing of other eye witnesses. I pretty sure that nice President Trump would not submit to a photograph.

Didn't they have that nice President Clinton submit a sample to compare with the Blue dress? If Monica had swallowed (like a good girl should) there would have been no evidence. alas.
