what is the biggest organism on the planet?

Question

in 2ooo a fungus growing through the earth in the malheur national forest, oregon,covering 890 hectares of land was found ,the largest organism ever.

Answer 1

still same fungus

Answer 2

The problem is that there are a lot of different criteria for what defines the largest organism. You are referring to a 2200 acre Armillaria ostoyae fungus in Oregon. However, it is uncertain if it is truly a single organism, because it could just be a large number of genetically identical individual fungi that were formed through asexual reproduction. There are other large clonal colonies in existence, including aspen trees in Utah that may weigh about 6600 tons and Posidonia oceanica seaweed 8 km wide surrounding the Mediterranean island of Ibiza.

The General Sherman Tree in California is the world's largest known tree by trunk volume, weighing about as much as 15 blue whales, blue whales being the largest animal to ever live in the world.

Superorganisms, like an ant colony or a coral reef, are not recognized as single organisms for comparisons of this type. However, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest superorganism in the world.

Answer 3

dinosaurs
The largest living amphibian is the Chinese Giant Salamander (Andrias davidianus). The maximum size of this river-dweller is 64 kg (140 lb) and 1.83 m (6 ft). In ancient times, before dinosaurs were the predominant creatures on earth, several giant amphibians are known. The largest known was the crocodile-like Prionosuchus, which reached a length of 9 m (30 ft).

Answer 4

Depends on what you want to call an "organism."
If you are looking for an animal sort of organism, then it is the blue whale.
If you are going to include plants in your query, then one of the giant redwood trees (I think, General Sherman is the tree's name) is the largest.
The fungus you mentioned may be disuted, as it is not just ONE organism, but many working together, like the Borg on Star Trek.

Answer 5

The planet. Very much like your liver and spleen are component parts of the whole that makes up you, so each species is a component part of the global life form call planet Earth.

Sadly, Earth is sick: she has a temperature. If her immune system fails her she'll go into shock and could die. The disease: she has cancer; and that cancer is the human race.

What price will we have to pay for her good health?
