"It is possibly the biggest living thing on earth."

It's possible, but not very likely:

Excluding multi-stem trees, the General Sherman tree, an individual Giant Sequoia with a volume of 1487 m³, would hold the title of the world's largest living organism, if measured in volume and mass.[3] This tree stands 83.8 m (274 ft 11 in) tall and the trunk alone is estimated to weigh over 2000 tons. (Wikipedia)

Welcome to the Cellar eander315.

I've read that claim, largest living thing, about a number of things. The trouble is, it's almost impossible to prove, because they're comparing apples and oranges... and pomegranates, and rutabagas, etc.
