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.
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

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.
Mushroom Robot Army vs OpenAI Robot Army… whose side are you on?
I, for one, welcome our new fungus overlords.
Humans lose anyway.
Glory to the human-mushroom-hybrids.
Mushroom Intelligence vs AI vs Humanity is the RTS I didn’t know I wanted
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.
Anyone got the DOI? I promise I won’t build a small swarm of wheeled mushrooms.
[edit]: Found it! https://doi.org/10.1126/scirobotics.adk8019
But you didn’t promise anything about arachnic legs!
Making the dystopia less boring one step at a time.

How long until we can play doom on mushrooms?
How long until mushrooms can play doom on people?
I can play doom on mushrooms any time I want
You can play it on gut bacteria, so it seems possible.
Cool, it can run for US President next if that’s still a thing.
Aroo!
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
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.
There’s something heartwarming about using the human ability to use technology to overcome limitations to help another species.
Thats basically the premise of the Uplift series by David Brin
What was that 70s movie?
Night of triffels? Or something?

Getting revenge on those pigs for digging up their cousins.
Anyone who has seen mushrooms grow and multiply knows this is some next level scary shit

MATANGO!
Let’s just hope that that fungus won’t start worshipping Gork and Mork any time soon.
