World’s biggest organism

World’s biggest organism

Fast, think about the biggest life-form ever. What’d you thought of? A dinosaur? Apologies, no — there’s bigger. You might say a blue whale? No! There is a great chance that you are thinking about the biggest creature, but we said ‘life form’. Well, we’re discussing the “humongous growth,” a colony of fungal clones that extends more than 2,385 acres of land. They are famously called – the honey mushrooms.

Did you know that mushrooms are not simply the stem-and-top that we see on a superficial level; this is lot more of an underground system of rings called mycelium. These ringlets can benefit from soil, rotting plant matter, or wood, contingent upon the mushroom species. 

The huge Honey mushrooms have thick dark rings called rhizomorphs, the systems of which can broaden miles through the dirt looking for wood to eat. That is right, the small cute mushroom might have really long root systems that feed it. Quite some back up they seem to have.
