SIN LIKE A MUSHROOM

In Oregon's Malheur National Forest, a fungus spreads through tree roots across 2,200 acres, making it the largest living organism ever found. Popularly known as the honey mushroom, the Armillaria Ostoyae started from a single microscopic spore. Yet it's been weaving its black shoestring filaments through the forest for an estimated 2,400 years, killing trees as it grows.

Tina Dreisbach, "When you're on the ground, you don't notice the pattern. You just see dead trees in clusters,"

Like this gigantic mushroom, sin began in a single act of disobedience but has spread across the entire human race.
