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.
