The Highest Surface To Environment Contact Is A Sensory Membrane-Bound Network.

Every square inch of a Mycelial network is studded with receptors enabling the entity to sense and react to the entirety of its environment at once.

In our world only the nodes gather and direct information along a network but mycelium can sense the environment, generate messages and direct them to other parts of the network from any place along the network itself.

The entirety of the organism is both network and node.
