Yes, of course, but fungal mycelia are also more intelligent than the entire US congress. Metaphors, metaphors. Always more offensive if they contain a mammalian brain. No offense ever intended to any element of a natural system. Biologist here. Nature is my deity.
Marine Biologist here. I have net come across an insult to any other kinds of life. I would defend them the same way. I agree about the fungal mycelia but most people would not even know what they are.
I constantly refer folks to Merlin Sheldrake's book, "Entangled Life". If only more people understood how essential and marvelous fungi are, we'd be a better species.
