Fact of the Day More Information This is no ordinary growth, as was illustrated in the disbelief of the scientists and researches who first discovered its size. Aged at no less than 2400 year old, this Armillaria (the species of fungus it is) has more than 2000 acres in surface area [source]. Every so often, depending on the weather of particular seasons, the fungus sprouts mini mushrooms that can be seen poking through the earths surface. DNA testing confirms that all of these outbursts originate from the same giant organism.
