The largest creature in the world is not a blue whale, but a mushroom
If you want to ask what is the biggest animal in the world, many people can give the answer in an instant: blue whale!
Blue whales are not only the largest animals in the world today, but also the largest known animal in history, and they are larger than all the dinosaurs found.
But the largest creature in the world is not the blue whale, it is much larger than the blue whale, and the blue whale is a younger brother in front of it. The largest organism in the world is a fungus called Honey Ring Fungus, which can be understood as a type of mushroom.
Don't look at the mushrooms that grow on the ground only have a small clump, in fact, the small clump you see is just a "small tip of the iceberg", and all the mushrooms on the ground are grown from the same underground mycelium.
In general, the mycelium of Honey Ring Bacteria can grow up to 10 tons and spread beyond 15 hectares underground. In the last century, scientists discovered an oversized honey ring fungus in the mountains of southwestern Washington State, which has spread beyond 607 hectares underground
