Would this fungus chess player be gigantic and immovable or something compact and portabella?

Enough of the shitake already. If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all, just imply it.
Actually, there was a recent study released by MIT regarding using fungus cells in quantum computing. Apparently, using this fungus, they believe they'll be able to create computers exponentially more powerful than currently available.

I almost went through mycelium with that one.
Fungi don't have thumbs! Therefore, no fungus ever could play better Chess than me. Checkmate, shrooms!
Fungi can make efficient networks, but the information moves through them at a WAAAAAY slower peace than in superior organisms' neural networks.
Let Fungi play checkers!

Occassionally I've been told I'm a fungi, but I prefer chess.

I saw a science channel program that showed that slime mold can create networks as, or more, efficient than humans do. If that's true, is it possible that with the proper input and output translation mechanisms and enough time it could solve complicated chess problems and beat humans at chess?
Then one day, if a chess player comes along and breaks the mold, they might be accused of unsportsman-like conduct.
Slime mold is like the stuff I daily flush gown my loo...so is this idea...I must push the button!
The question is, would female slime mold be as adept at chess, or is this the domain of male fungus only?
Wow, thread just started and it has already mushroomed.

Its a fluke.
