Fascinating!

To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

Fungal ‘Brains’ Can Think Like Human Minds, Scientists Say
  • A new study claims that fungi possess great intelligence to the point that they can make decisions.
  • A group of scientists tested how fungi would grow across patterns of blocks, and found that they grew in strategic, resource-preserving ways that indicate the ability for communication across the entire mycelial network.
  • These findings could not only lead to a better understanding of these relatively mysterious organisms, but to better comprehension of intelligence itself.
