Are Fungi Conscious?

Are fungi conscious?

While still debated in scientific circles, researchers are beginning to uncover just how complex and responsive fungi truly are. Without a brain or central nervous system, they navigate their environments, exchange nutrients through vast underground mycelial networks, and adapt to minute environmental changes with remarkable precision.

Some call this intelligence. Others argue it’s time we expand our definitions entirely.

Fungi have long been overlooked — but the more we learn, the more they challenge our assumptions about consciousness, intelligence, and life itself.
