The logical result of an entire generation that interacted with Biology mainly through Pokemons. Animals can show some degree of intelligence because they have brains feeded by biological sensors. Brains are made of nerve cells. Fungi, plants or rocks don't have nerve cells, never had nerve cells and never will have nerve cells, so they can not have a brain. Not. They don't have it. I don't care about if bulbasaur is half plant and your favorite. This things are not real... Now fill the gaps: A creature without a nervous system can't have ... Pseudoscientific attention grabbers are becoming a plague

Tardigrades don't have muscles either. Yet they can walk.

  The presence of three types of muscles in Tardigrades is well documented since the year 1840.

    You’re right. Bad example.

You don't need a nervous system for information processing

  Toasters can process information, but nobody would say that they are intelligent.

[Citation Needed] The current mainstream understanding is that fungii pass electrical signals along mycelium networks to communicate. Every cell in this network is essentially a nerve cell. Connected in a network spanning multiple organisms, genders and species.

This are true facts, proven since hundreds of years by thousands of researchers. I can't lose any time explaining that 2+2=4. We can't change the truth just to make somebody feel better with their ideas. If you want to modify the entire field of life sciences, okay, perfect... but it is your duty to show me the proofs, not mine to prove you that something does not exist. And metaphysical opinions or science fiction films aren't proofs. There are lots of inert things able to conduct electricity. I dare you to show me neuron cells, dendrites, neuroglial cells, ganglions or something remotely similar to an animal brain in an histological preparation of a fungus tissue.
