"They have memories, they learn, and they can make decisions."
"In a series of experiments detailed in a paper published in the journal Fungal Ecology, Fukasawa and his colleagues arranged small wood blocks in different shapes, and allowed a network of P. velutina mycelium — which typically feeds on peach and nectarine trees — to go to town on them.
What they found was startling: that the mycelium appeared to be making decisions depending on the arrangement of the blocks, rather than simply spreading from a central point — suggesting a rudimentary level of intelligence, the researchers say."
