OP might want to watch the movie, Fantastic Fungi with Paul Stamets (note the Star Trek character was named after this expert on shroomz).
Largest living organism in the world is a fungi in Oregon.
OP should go there and commune.
"The largest living organism is a single gigantic specimen of honey mushroom (Armillaria ostoyae), discovered in the Malheur National Forest, Oregon, USA, which occupies a total area of 965 hectares (2,385 acres), equivalent to 1,350 soccer fields. The honey mushroom is well known for its glowing surface, caused by bioluminescent bacteria, although most of its tissue is around 1 metre (3 feet) underground, in the form of root-like mycelia. Its age is calculated to be at least 2,400 years old, but may be as much as 8,650 years old.
It also holds the record for the world's largest fungus.
The honey mushroom is estimated to weigh somewhere between 7,500 and 35,000 US tons (6,800–31,750 tonnes)."
