There's a fun movie "The Creeping Garden" that asks that question about slime mold which can solve mazes but doesn't have any sort of brain.
For anyone who wants to watch more on slime molds, I recommend the documentary The Creeping Garden

The first half gets you a great understanding of slime molds. The second half goes into some more experimental art that uses slime molds. Depending on your interest, you could fast-forward during sections of the second half and stay fort beautiful shots.
Highly recommend the documentary "The Creeping Garden" for an insightful look at slime moulds and intelligence:
