An aspen grove is the largest living organism on the planet. They are all connected.

That's creepy.An aspen grove is the largest living organism on the planet. They are all connected.
What is probably the largest living organism on earth has been discovered in the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon. A fungus living three feet underground is estimated to cover 2,200 acres. After testing samples from various locations, scientists say it is all one organism.
Officially known as Armillaria ostoyae, or the honey mushroom, the fungus is 3.5 miles across and takes up 1,665 football fields. The small mushrooms visible above ground are only the tip of the iceberg.
Experts estimate that the giant mushroom is at least 2,400 years old, but could be 7,200 years old.
Previously, the world's largest organism was another Armillaria ostoyae, which covers a mere 1,500 acres near Mt. Adams in Washington state.
thank you professor smarty pants.
Okay that's even creepier.... I think I read a Dean Koontz novel about it.

Ride on Tony. I'm wit ya.
Back from where? Did you go somewhere?
And what is this riding thing you speak of? 
I do also but after coming back from Crested Butte, Houston (innerloop) riding is so very uninspiring it's hard to even be in the saddle.
another hobby of mine is Hiking and i'm reading 'A walk in the woods'
awesome book but makes me wana quit my Jay Oh Bee and start walking...around the world.
That's how I always felt when I has to go home to San Diego from vacation.
I read 'A walk in the woods' while on a week long backpacking trip. It was a great read. It didn't make me want to walk long distances, but for some reason after reading it I wanted to do some super long road bike rides.
