This is a compiles and amazingly complex mechanism of propagation, but doesn't require any intelligence or awareness on the part of the fungus. Just millions of years of evolution and deterministic neurochemistry.

The fungus cant get that many winning bingo cards in a row. It looks more to me like getting a good hand of cards and playing them well.
