What is the largest living thing on earth?

The largest living thing on earth is a giant fungus called Armillaria ostoyae, or the honey mushroom. About 2,400 years old and several square miles in size. 1400 football pitches springs to mind. I think it lives in Oregon Nov 22 03, 2:29 PM

The General Sherman tree (a giant Redwood) weighs approx 2500 tons and is the heaviest single living thing. The tallest tree ever measured was a Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans)in Australia in 1872, 435 feet tall. The largest object made by living things is the Great Barrier Reef. Nov 23 03, 3:02 AM
