Mushrooms are just the fruiting body of the mycelium network. What we have here is someone cutting a dick off and having it pilot a Gundam.
Juffo-Wup is the power of life… hot warmth in the cold Void. It flows through all things, binding them together, making them one. You are Non-Juffo-Wup, you cannot understand.
You do have a wonderful way with words!
It’s a meme pic, so I’m just wildly gesticulating and making giant assumptions here: I doubt it’s the “mushroom” fruiting body that’s doing anything in this research. It’s almost certainly the mycelium or we’re dealing with something like slime molds or yeast which don’t produce mushrooms at all.
Yes I made this comment without reading the rest of the thread or hunting down the story. Sue me.
Yeah the reality is they essentially used mycelium as nerve fibers, but I was riffing on the headline. There was also certainly no learning going on. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.adk8019
Think of the neat new ways techbros are going to be able to fuck us in 20 years.

[Mushroom global hive-mind] : “Good, good. It’s all going according to plan”
This wasn’t the type of GYO adaptation I was expecting…
Cool, it can run for US President next if that’s still a thing.
Actually, mycellium is probably very highly inteligent, if big enough, so it would probably be either great or terrible for humans.
Well, the current president already has a mushroom dick
Aroo!
So, this is real. Very cool.
Would anybody like some toast?
How long until we can play doom on mushrooms?
How long until mushrooms can play doom on people?
Right now. On you for ignoring that it started happening before we existed.
How long until mushrooms can play Doom?
I can play doom on mushrooms any time I want
You can play it on gut bacteria, so it seems possible.
Mushroom Robot Army vs OpenAI Robot Army… whose side are you on?
Humans lose anyway.
Glory to the human-mushroom-hybrids.
I, for one, welcome our new fungus overlords.
A mushroom overlord sounds like a fungi
You just voluntered to be mulch for the spore beds.
I’m proud to serve our benevolent leaders
Ngl, it would be good to have 40k orc army (fungi-infected super soldiers) on our side. That is, if siding with orc is ever possible.
Mushroom Intelligence vs AI vs Humanity is the RTS I didn’t know I wanted
Anyone who has seen mushrooms grow and multiply knows this is some next level scary shit
Making the dystopia less boring one step at a time.
It’s all fun and games until we’re overrun by cybernetic goombas.
Cue the Jurassic Park quote we all know, but for some reason is constantly ignored.
