neilcox, My question also -

Another of Your quizzes told me that the Great Barrier Reef was the largest living thing.

The largest living thing is a mushroom? How?

Thanks for the answers!

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

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.

Mushroom incorrect....The largest single living organism based on area is a specimen of Posidonia australis seagrass (aka Poseidon’s ribbon weed) located in Shark Bay off Western Australia, covering approximately 200 square kilometres (77 square miles) – equivalent to around 28,000 soccer fields or more than 450 times bigger than Vatican City, the world's smallest country. The superlative seagrass meadow was described in a paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B on 1 June 2022.

Jetty Newnham, Honey fungus, armillaria solidipes in the Malheur National Forest of Oregon, US spanning 2,200 acres of area estimated to be over 2,400 years old.There may be one even larger in Russia.
