If isn't a fungi, and it's not a plant: What on earth is it?

It would be very strange to have a living thing from a previously unknown branch of life AND it's this huge giant towering structure.

What if it was the first thing to crack the code for growing large? A runaway.

WHAT IF ITS ALIENS?
(someone calm me down please)

OK what if it's Siphonophore-like? Or something lichen like? eg not just one organism?
