This fungus is so humongous that it can be mapped
Briefly

"Based on various appraisals of its growth rate, the enormous shroom that's slowly consuming thousands of trees in the mountains could be anywhere between 2,400 and 8,600 years old."
"The weight of this mainly subterranean monster fungus could be as low as a few thousand, and as high as 27,000 metric tons, close to 30,000 U.S. tons – comparable to about 60 Boeing 747s at maximum takeoff weight."
"The Humongous Fungus covers an area between 3.5 and 3.7 square miles, or roughly 9 to 10 km², which is about five times the size of Monaco."
