Dear Diane,
I'm sure that fungi come in first for the largest living organism but
pushing the Sequoias back to several places from the top would be large
beds of Sea Kelp in the ocean and groves of Aspen in the Rocky Mountains
which often reproduce asexually by underground runners making the entire
grove one individual. There are many more examples that will set the
Sequoias back even further but I must admit that seeing mature groves of
Sequoiadendron giganteum in Sequoia National Park is a sight that people
come from around the world to see and they will not be disappointed.
Hoping for a warmer spring,
Ernie
