Fungi might hold the magic to solve our most complex problems — no zombies required. #TEDTalks
Mycologist David Andrew Quist explores how fungi’s innate biointelligence, penchant for collaboration and incredible regeneration abilities can show us new ways to think about complex problems — and may hold the secret to humanity’s survival on Earth. Watch the full video here:

Except that doesnt deal with terrain, the ability for the ground to support the rails, weather/flood areas, hill etc.

Not true! In later iterations of the same experiment they actually used inhibition gradients (varying levels of things the slime mold either doesn’t like or can’t survive, like high temperatures or salt concentrations) to simulate terrain conditions, and found that the slime mold produced a nearly perfect recreation of the Tokyo subway system, with the only exceptions being routes that were about the same efficiency as the real one.

Who ever creayed this universe animals and ys these are very complex , and ita probability is very very less 0.0000000000000………. something like that and we live experience, and can think if means someone is there who created us .

It’s actually nearly impossible for something like a slime mold to evolve _without_ being able to do this, for a couple reasons:
1) despite the apparent complexity of the task of creating an efficient nutrient distribution network, it can actually be achieved with a relatively short list of pretty simple rules all being followed by a number of actors at the same time. This is what is called an “emergent property”. And each of those rules is beneficial by itself without the others or with just a partially complete set of other rules, so it’s easy for them all to evolve one by one.
2) If they _didn’t_ evolve the ability to efficiently find and distribute food throughout their bodies, they would have gone extinct.

That is amazing
What was the research paper? And how to get it?

Better than AI.
But in seriousness, are there studies in other locations to solidify the results

Slime molds are closer to amoebae than to fungi. They are giant single celled organisms with multiple nuclei. They’re just called molds because they were named before they were fully understood.
