Do we really believe that this kind of stuff has any chance of scaling and becoming generally useful?

Do we have to believe this will scale and be "generally useful" (whatever that means) in order for it to be interesting enough to talk, discuss and think about?

To be fair, among the first questions interested people would ask about something like this are, "what can we use it for?" and "will it scale?"

Interested people being investors I guess?

My reaction is more, how does this work, what is it about mushrooms and mycelial networks, and sure, what is possible - but not, how soon can I monetize this
