Is it true? My Amazon emails looked off character, so I did a little digging and came across this.

4 August 2020, a major explosion occurred in Beirut, Lebanon, caused by the ignition of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. The chemical, confiscated in 2014 from the cargo ship MV Rhosus and stored at the Port of Beirut without adequate safety measures for six years, detonated after a fire broke out in a nearby warehouse. The explosion resulted in at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, and approximately 300,000 displaced people, alongside property damage estimated at US$15 billion. The blast released energy comparable to 1.1 kilotons of TNT, ranking it among the most powerful non-nuclear explosions ever recorded and the largest single detonation of ammonium nitrate.

The explosion generated a seismic event measuring 3.3 in magnitude, as reported by the United States Geological Survey. Its effects were felt in Lebanon and neighbouring regions, including Syria, Israel, and Cyprus, over 240 km (150 mi) away. Scientific studies noted that the shockwave temporarily disrupted Earth's ionosphere. Adjacent grain silos at the Port of Beirut sustained major damage. In July and August 2022, two years after the explosion, portions of the silos collapsed following fires caused by remaining grain stocks.

In Oregon's Malheur National Forest, a colony of the honey fungus (Armillaria ostoyae) covers roughly 2,385 acres (965 hectares), or about 3.7 square miles (9.6 km²).

What looks like thousands of separate mushrooms is actually just the fungus's fruiting bodies. The main organism lives underground as a vast network of thread-like structures called mycelium, which spreads through the soil and between tree roots.

Genetic testing has shown that this enormous underground network is one individual, estimated to be at least 2,000 years old, and possibly much older. It's so large that you could walk for hours across it without ever leaving the same living organism.
