Update: Posidonia australis or ribbon weed is the new largest organism by area, covering 200 square kilometres (77 sq mi) off the coast of western Australia.

It's crazy to think that most trees today haven't met their full height. Before we cut down forests, big trees like these existed everywhere. They were the norm for forests.

Australia’s tallest tree, named Centurion, is finally living up to its lofty name and has just been measured at 100.9m tall. Not only does this make Centurion a massive tree, but it also means Tasmania joins Northern California in holding the only trees over 100m in height on the planet!
If you look it up, the the SMALLEST living organism is "Mycoplasma genitalium" and this is what i got: a parasitic bacterium which lives in the primate bladder, waste disposal organs, genital, and respiratory tracts, is thought to be the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction. With a size of approximately 200 to 300 nm.
I decided to look this up, expecting it to be from some super exotic place in the middle of a dangerous, unexplored jungle, where there are a million other hideous predators, insects and parasites just itching to paralyse you with some sort of diabolical concoction which will leave you in toe-watering agony for your remaining hours, but no, its found on the coasts of britain {{0}}_{{0}}
I saw a fungi monster before, my mom took a picture and I slayed it. On the inside there was redness like blood. The fungus had an eyeball looking thing and red legs with mud or bird poop on them like the fungus that grows on bird poop. That is the creepyest creature on earth.
I have (I think) been through Pando. On a scouting campout, we went to Fish Lake to go fishing, and I think the road to the lake goes through Pando. Wish we could have stopped to admire it. But then again, given how humans have a tendency to be destructive, maybe passing was better.
Funny thing is I was certain it was going to be a mushroom at the top. The mycellium can spread nearly indefinitely and in the event the biomass starts dying the fruits are dropping so many spores that a new colony will start. Fungus is just one of the most proliferating species I the world, the cloning trees are interesting because they have taken the same method to grow, I had no idea those were all part of one root system.

The bootlace worm (Lineus longissimus) found on the coasts of Britain and Scandinavia is often considered the longest animal, with one specimen in the 19thC allegedly measured at 55m.
I could swear I remember another video about the biggest organism (or plant?). It talked about mass vs volume / area. Had something about water content being a major contributor to mass..
Also, debunked did a similar video: ruclips.net/video/20SRMtweyP0/видео.html Says mostly the same stuff in a different style. All 3 videos are great! Awesome quality 🤟
I thought you would talk about "mycorrhizal network". It's basically a web of fungi that connects tree roots together so trees can communicate, trade resources etc.
2:15 - 2:45 Actually, the bootlace worm can get up to 55m (~180ft) for the longest reported specimens. So you're actually wrong about the Lion's Mane Jellyfish being the longest animal on Earth... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineus_longissimus

The answer for why there are all these big organisms in the western United States is basically that the northern pacific provides a unique opportunity to collect moisture, and the Sierras and Rockies force a lot of that moisture out of the clouds as they roll off of the pacific. The second largest single trunk tree species lives at about the same relative latitude in the Andes.
The worlds second largest fungus is here in Michigan’s UP! It was discovered in 1995 just a few years before the one in Oregon. But we do have the oldest rock in the world up here too!

If you want a story about an economically important organism slowly consuming Earth, try the Tiberium series of Command and Conquer. In it, the titular Tiberium is an alien mystery material that absorbs and assimilates nearby mass into it, forming a critical background element of the story and conflict between NOD and GDI. On the one hand, it's behind an economic revolution as it accumulates ores into itself that we normally can't access. On the other hand, it also likes eating and mutating biology, including us.
