The largest single organism known is a fungus (an individual of Armillaria ostoyae - one of the "honey mushrooms") growing in western Washington state. This organism consists mostly of underground mycelia and covers 2,200 acres. It is estimated to weigh perhaps 4,000 tons ( 8 million pounds) and is thought to be about 2,400 years old. A smaller individual (covering only 40 acres) of a related species, Armillaria bulbosa , which is growing in northern Michigan is thought to be as much as 10,000 years old, which if true, would make it the oldest known living organism on the planet.

The Blue Whale. In deep seas and oceans.

Some people do claim for some fungi - but that's moot and debatable- not all experts agree to it- conventioanal science says it's group(s) of organisms, not a single 1

I have heard it is a forest (I think it was birch) where all the trees are connected by roots and are considered one organism.
