Clyve, that is awesome.
Quaking Aspen trees consist of an underground root system spreading and growing multiple genetically identical trees. Because of their genetic relationship, most experts consider the trees and root system to be one massive organism. Though there is plenty of debate, a colony of Quaking Aspen in Utah is currently considered to be both the single heaviest and oldest organism in the world. It covers 106 acres, weighs approximately 6,600 tons, and is believed to be 80,000 years old.

That mushroom colony is genetically identical, but is made of many separate individuals. All of these trees are connected by the root system, making it one enormous individual.

Nono this mushroom isn't just spores. They all grow in clusters over an entire forest, but they are connected underground, same as the trees I guess.
The wikipedia page for Largest Organisms says the title of Largest is contested on both sides, due to the trees possibly being separate clusters, and same for the 'shrooms. Entirely possible the roots/mycelia aren't connected underground.

When Pokemon was criticized for being pro-evolution by Christian groups, the Vatican defended it.

Wikipedia wrote:Catholic concern about evolution has always been very largely concerned with the implications of evolutionary theory for the origin of the human species; even by 1859, the Church did not insist on a literal reading of the Book of Genesis, which had long been undermined by developments in geology and other fields. No high-level Church pronouncement has ever attacked head-on the theory of evolution as applied to non-human species. The early Church Fathers taught creationism... however modern literal creationism has had little support among the higher levels of the Church.
Remember folks, religion is not bad. Religious people who are also narrow-minded are bad.

I've never gotten why creationism can't get along with evolution. The way I've seen it is God creates the matter from nothing, which then explodes (Big Bang) and scatters throughout the universe, and everything goes from there.

Because that's not what the Bible says.
