Well, if mycelium can conduct electrical signals, then it's similar to brain tissue, which seems like a more interesting analogy than saying it can perform digital computation, in my opinion. Because then it raises the question of what other qualities it has that might be similar to brain tissue, for example, maybe exhibiting some form of perception, learning, and even consciousness. The total amount of mycelial tissue is a lot more massive than just the mushroom, the mushroom is the fruiting body, it's a small part of the organism. Also, the mycelium interacts with tree roots, which can be viewed as (one of many?) sensory inputs.
