Crystal Falls, MI is home to what may be the world’s largest and oldest living organism. It’s a fungus that lies beneath 38 acres of forest floor near the Wisconsin border. Scientists discovered the "humongous fungus" by accident in 1988. Experts believe it weighs around 100 tons and is between 1,500 and 10,000 years old.

But according to the Crystal Falls website, tourists who wish to see the giant fungus will probably be disappointed. It lives almost entirely underground, only sprouting a few edible mushrooms in the fall.

Testimonials

  • Michael,

    You have added another dimension to wealth! Women’s magazines with their glossy ads and decorating themes evoke some of the feelings you speak of; however, they are just photos of that lifestyle at best. We look at and enjoy them, but we don’t adapt that lifestyle and the majority of us never will.

    Your article may change that if we take your recommendations seriously. I see great potential in this statement: “The feeling of wealth for me now has three elements: tranquility, safety, and emotional or intellectual enrichment.”

    I will make every effort to incorporate the three elements into my daily life. Thank you for another perspective!
