In Oregon\u2019s Malheur National Forest, a fungus has spread through tree roots across twenty-two hundred acres, making it the largest living organism ever found. The Armillaria Ostoyae, also called \u201choney mushroom,\u201d started from a single microscopic spore. Yet it has been weaving its black shoestring filaments through the forest for an estimated twenty-four hundred years, killing trees as it grows.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re on the ground, you don\u2019t notice the pattern. You just see dead trees in clusters,\u201d says Tina Dreisbach, a botanist and mycologist [botanist of fungi] with the United States Forest Service\u2019s Pacific Northwest Research Station in Corvallis, Oregon.<\/p>\n
In the roots of an affected tree, researchers find something that looks like white latex paint. These are mats of mycelium, which draw water and carbohydrates from the tree to feed the fungus and interfere with the tree\u2019s absorption of nutrients. The shoestring filaments, called rhizomorphs, stretch as much as ten feet into the soil, invading tree roots through a combination of pressure and enzyme action.<\/p>\n
Like the honey mushroom, sin began in a single act of disobedience but has spread across the entire human race.<\/p>\n
