The bristlecone pine, which lives in California desert lands, is not only the longest living plant, but the longest living thing. Mind, it does not look much alive -- all wizened up and crooked like an old apple. Another possible candidate is common mushroom mycelia, the underground part of which the 'shroom is the flower. There is one in, I believe, Minnesota which may also make the claim for the largest living thing. God knows how old such a thing might be.
