Mycelium Studies

[Isard]

Based on other creatures, both similar, and different, I cannot reasonably assume that what appears to be intelligence, is anything more than instinct.

For a different creature, lets take wolves. They're cunning group hunters, but are they really "intelligent"? No, they appear that way, but what they do just comes to them, they don't plot or scheme, They know what they need, and how to get it naturally.

They do not change their environments to suit them in any way. They don't innovate, they don't create. In fact, trying to communicate with it would be pointless in itself, why would a fungus need to communicate? Why would it need to develop thought patterns?
