    don’t mushrooms(fungus in general) have some kind of communication system that basically functions like a hive mind?

    I think when you’re thinking in terms of multiple cellular organisms sharing a singular information pathway there are many examples that fit the criteria that aren’t necessarily the way humans would communicate with each other.

      I think mushrooms are more of a singular organism with a vast nervous system spreading underground and occasionally popping up above to reproduce. Which kinda sorta fits, but still
