A mushroom? What a crazy answer
buhlemann
Christopher Skinner, The argument (true of false) is that most of the Bariier Reef is calcium deposits from dead organisms, over which the living coral grows. It is in Minnesota and into surrounding areas, and is a fungus that has mycelia that have spread underground over a huge area. The proper answer should have been "fungus" , not "mushroom", but I knew what they meant. Sometimes these quizzes want "aspen", because there is an aspen in (I think) the NW of the US that really one gigantic root system for what looks like a forest from a distance, but is really one organism.

Player Dennis, I have heard that, too, but most it is old calcium from dead organisms, over which the living part grows.

The biggest living "thing"is the Great Barrier Reef. in Australia. so there.

Gail, they don’t mean toad stools, but a mold like fungus
buhlemann
David Armstrong, I think they regard the reef as made up of innumerable separate organisms, due to the genetic diversity of the corals. The fungus, on the other hand is one organism and is genetically the same from one end to the other.
