A big fungus like an over grown truffle under the ground somewhere.

I just found this:

Fungus is world's largest living organism
PRAIRIE CITY, Ore., June 10 (UPI) -- The fungus Armillaria ostoyae, commonly known at root rot, has become the world's largest living organism thanks to an outbreak in Prairie City, Ore.

Currently the fungus form dubbed the "humungous fungus" by the U.S. Forest Service underlies 2,200 miles of land outside the Oregon city and wildlife officials are at a loss how to stop its growth, The (Portland) Oregonian said Sunday.

With some estimates placing the fungus' age at 8,000 years old, the natural organism has had plenty of time to spread throughout the region as other life forms unknowingly moved above.

To that end, the fungus now spreads across an area equal to 1,600 football fields and is only noticeable in areas where it has claimed trees.

Experts predict the massive fungus may lose a significant portion of its mass as the victim of a major nature fire.

The Oregonian said the record-setting organism lost a portion of its bulk to a fire four years ago.

Actually, the largest life form known on earth is the fungus Armillaria ostoyae, also known as root rot. It recently became the world's largest living organism due to an outbreak in Prairie City, Oregon. It is called the "Humongous Fungus" by some.

The largest life form is not a grove of trees, or the blue whale, it's fungus. Surprising, but true.

in all likelihood no longer, i might have concept they could be lots lots smaller than existence on earth because of the fact the gravity would be lots greater effective for a worldwide 10 situations as massive (10 situations the mass?), so there could be no income in expending ability to advance massive and be acted upon by utilising the massive gravity of a X 10 worldwide. i'm not sure that the gravity equation is a promptly ratio of length to gravity the two, i think of the ratio of gravity to charm is a squared function (gravitational pull decreases at a fee of the sq. of the area aside, as bodies circulate faraway from one yet another).

I have been told that the largest life form is a fungus out in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. That is because most of the fungus is below ground, and this mycelium (fungus body) covers several square miles.

A grove of aspen trees in Utah I think. I'm not so sure on the state, sorry. But I'm positive about the trees, they have one very large singular root system spanning many miles

They used to think it was a growth of Aspen in Colorado. Now they say it may be a fungus growing in the forest of a couple of states in the Northwest.

There is a fungus in Oregon that's over 3 miles across.
