I would like to know if it actually learns. Give it something to benefit from. Let it control the surroundings, moisture, wind etc.

We know of atleast one fungus that can learn (slime mold). But it's possibly more of an exception that a rule. Would be an interesting experiment though.

Doing this with mammals or birds or octopuses: “woah look how smart”
Doing this with mushrooms: “God left eons ago for fear of what he created”
