Researchers in the US have found what is probably the largest living organism on Earth.
It is a fungus that is growing through the earth and roots of trees in the Malheur National Forest in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon.
Scientists say it covers 890 hectares (2,200 acres) of land - an area equivalent to about 1,220 football pitches.
