High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Armillaria gallica is a species of honey mushroom in the Physalacriaceae family. Commonly known as the humongous fungus, the species is a common and ecologically important wood-decay fungus that can live as a saprobe, or as an opportunistic parasite in weakened tree hosts to cause root rots or butt rots. It has a widespread distribution, and is found in temperate regions of Asia, North America, and Europe, where it forms fruit bodies singly or in groups in soil or rotting wood. It has also been inadvertently introduced to South Africa. The fungus was formerly known as Armillaria bulbosa and has a confusing taxonomic history. An individual colony living in a Michigan forest caused a media stir in the early 1990s after it was reported to cover an area of 37 acres (15 ha), weigh at least 22,000 pounds (10,000 kg), and be 1,500 years old.
