Create a surreal, cosmic artwork featuring an intergalactic fungus with a mesmerizing, mind-bending presence. The fungus is a vivid red, with a complex, layered structure resembling a blooming flower or coral, its tendrils and folds extending outward symmetrically to form a rounded, almost spherical shape at the top, narrowing into a thick, tree-like stalk at the base. The texture is intricate, with a fractal-like pattern giving it an organic, alien appearance. At the center of the fungus, place a large, glowing blue orb with a sparkling, crystalline surface speckled with tiny white lights, emitting a subtle light that creates a faint halo effect. Surrounding the orb, include four white, curved, claw-like appendages, evenly spaced and extending outward, each with a subtle glow and a small, glowing blue orb near the tip. Above the fungus, position a small, golden geometric shape, resembling a diamond with a cross inside, floating in space as a celestial symbol. The background is a deep cosmic void with swirling blues, purples, and greens, filled with glowing stars and ethereal shapes like flowing nebulae, but without small galaxies or spirals. The ground at the base of the stalk is a colorful, textured surface mirroring the cosmic background with vibrant hues of blue, purple, red, and green, without any additional small growths or mushrooms. The overall composition should evoke a sense of awe and mental intrusion, as if the fungus is a sentient entity reaching into the viewer’s consciousness, set against a vibrant, psychedelic cosmic backdrop.
