The fungal mind: on the evidence for mushroom intelligence

I wonder if "mammal-level intelligence" isn't a bugaboo. Crows are smarter than some humans I've known.

I wonder if they can detect a joke, because you clearly can't therefore, smarter than you if they can.

Might be more accurate to come at it from the other side: Humans are capable of higher levels of stupidity than cows.

This seems a good approach. We should examine the fungi for stupidity. If it doesn't have that I think it is safe to say it's smarter than we are.

We can stop saying it when the crows complain.

Have you met a crow? They complain all the time.

Unless there's an accipiter around. Then they get very quiet and very watchful.
