Saprotrophic cord systems: dispersal mechanisms in space and time (2009, background): “To date, the most extensive found is a genet of the pathogenic Armillaria ostoyae spanning 965 hectares, with a maximum separation of 3810 m and estimated to be 1900–8650 years old (Ferguson et al. 2003).”
Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI (2025, unknown): “Yet, even in nature, scale varies dramatically: living organisms range from bacteria (hundreds of nanometers) to blue whales (up to 30 meters), the heaviest ones being limited by heat dissipation due to their high volume-to-surface ratio [23].”
Fabrication factors influencing mechanical, moisture- and water-related properties of mycelium-based composites (2019, background): “For example, single individuals of the genus Armillariahave been identified that had colonized ≥1000 haof soil, making them the largest organisms on earth [8,9].”
