A mushROOM!
Armillaria ostoyae fungus, also known as the honey fungus, is the world largest organism and covers over 2300 acres!
thanks dad
Anytime, champ!

Another specimen in northeastern Oregon’s Malheur National Forest is possibly the largest living organism on Earth by mass, area, and volume – this contiguous specimen covers 3.7 square miles (2,400 acres; 9.6 km2) and is colloquially called the “Humongous fungus”.
Uses
The species is considered a choice edible.
Hmmm. Apparently in national forests in Oregon you can harvest up to a gallon of mushrooms for personal use at one time, no permit required, though you’re not allowed to sell or barter it.
…that’s kind of amazing that anyone can just go out and eat part of the largest organism on earth.
There’s no room in that room.
What are you talking about? There’s so mush room!
Does a factory count? If so… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Everett_Factory
The NASA Vehicle Assembly Building is also a contender.
I’m not sure how many dividing walls there are inside Everett, but the VAB is basically one massive empty skyscraper.
I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard the ceiling is so high it has its own weather.
Factories will win this hands down, especially when you’re building large/complex items. It looks like the distinction might be “single building” vs “complex or buildings”, but VW’s Wolfsburg plant is 70 million square feet. The largest plant I’ve been to isn’t on that list, but it’s still over a half mile wide - all under a single roof.

Volume: 13.3 million m³
That being said, I don’t know if it is internally divided.
There’s a really large cave in Southeast Asia somewhere.

The Sơn Đoòng cave in Vietnam:
Formed in Carboniferous/Permian limestone, the main Sơn Đoòng cave passage is the largest known cave passage in the world by volume – 3.84×10⁷ m³ (1.36×10⁹ cu ft), according to BCRA expedition leader Howard Limbert. It is more than 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long, 200 metres (660 ft) high and 150 metres (490 ft) wide.
So that’d be nearly triple the volume of the Everett Factory. Though the cave has two holes in its roof, and I don’t know exactly how you define “room” here.
You could say the Veryovkina Cave in Georgia is the biggest room in the world, if you define a room as a single continuous enclosure not impeded by any barriers or gates. It’s referred to as the Mount Everest of caves and has six points of entry once thought to be unrelated. My best friends are cave hobbyists (my body isn’t ready as they say, though to be fair neither are theirs for different reasons), seeing/capturing never before things all the time, and are probably evading the law that far below our overworld right now.
I’m not sure of the volume of that system, how to get it. But I wonder if man made strip mines like these would compare:
They go on for miles, are huge, and theoretically could go on for basically forever.
Impressively not even close. The Veryovkina Cave is the deepest cave but the largest is the Hang Son Doong cave in Vietnam and that’s just under ten kilometers. Again a place shown to not be immune to my friends.
Makes me wish I could be into that stuff, might be interesting to see the life and art down there.
What’s the single biggest constructed room? By humans, inside a building.
LOL the link in that post goes to a crypto scam.
Probably The Asylum.
Admittedly, The Asylum has a quite a few rooms within it, but I’d say that the antechamber of The Asylum that abuts the outer wall to Outside comprises the majority of the surface of the Earth and its atmosphere, so that’s a pretty big room.

Wonko the sane nods in agreement
One common answer is the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center which is mainly one really tall room.
it’s so big it has weather!
It also has the largest garage door on it.
Four of them, the largest doors of any kind in the world.
Yer mum’s rectum!
Nah I don’t know
NASA’s VAB is kinda big
I have in my hand a tiny 1cm square hollow cube. I define the inside of the cube the “outside” so my room contains everything else in the universe.
That’s all fine and good until someone comes along with a 9mm cube.
Nice to meet you, Wonko the Sane.
