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.

Slime molds can also solve certain problems like traveling salesman problems. They do it by actually expanding through a map of food sources. Interestingly, this giant Superorganism of I think Amita does so probably more quickly than even a very large data center.
And it would do so using far fewer resources.
