Is it really decision making if the fungus moves to the nearest block of wood, then on to the next, and so on?

The main findings seems to be on how it stabilizes.

The blocks are pre-populated, so at the start there's the same amount of fungus in every blocks. But as time goes by, the fungus moves away from the central block to concentrate on the terminal ones in the X shaped configuration for instance.

Or we can see they don't grow towards the inner side of the circle to a degree that doesn't look accidental.
