Another specimen in northeastern Oregon’s Malheur National Forest is possibly the largest living organism on Earth by mass, area, and volume – this contiguous specimen covers 3.7 square miles (2,400 acres; 9.6 km2) and is colloquially called the “Humongous fungus“.[2] Approximations of the land area occupied by the “Humongous fungus” are 3.5 square miles (9.1 km2) (2,240 acres (910 ha)), and it possibly weighs as much as 35,000 tons, making it the world’s most massive living organism.[7]

Since I’m walking a tad better right now, it seemed like a good time for a short stroll in the rain forest.

With Ricky Raccoon following close by, we headed into a part of the forest I haven’t been before. I wanted a new adventure. Ricky Raccoon came along to keep me safe from who knows what…

After ’bout 30 minutes hiking slowly on a secret trail, Ricky Raccoon revealed to me, “come with me over here,” he said, looking straight ahead with his nose pointed at something remarkable and stunning…

“Ricky Raccoon”

I couldn’t believe there could be a mushroom this huge. I could see it might be a good spot for my wildlife friends to gather for some fun in the rain forest with me…

I was startled when my furry loved ones and wildlife friends began appearing from behind the tall huge mushroom. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland on a long ago visit to Disneyland…

All my wildlife friends showed. It was my surprise 75th birthday celebration! How cool is that?

My wildlife friends are a fun bunch of pals to hang with. I never feel alone with them near by.

We take care each other as one community. That’s the way it is in the Cove near the rain forest by the sea…

So you know, this species https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillaria_ostoyae is highly protected. Ricky Racoon guided me into a sacred space in the rain forest to see it. I will keep it a secret.
