‘But even with its new size estimate, the Michigan fungus has already been eclipsed by a different Armillaria in Oregon, discovered in 1998. That one, now the largest organism in the world, may be more than 8000 years old and covers more than 770 hectares.’

1 hectare =2.471 acres
I think in the video, the guy said that the humongous fungus was in Oregon, so that's the one that he referenced. The only reason that he said that "Pando" the aspen forest was larger was because the aspen forest is more massive (albeit covering a much smaller area).
