This paper describes the results of a simulation using metrics associated with the principles of artificial economics in animal cognition. The main purpose of this research paper is to understand the principles of natural minds and adopt these principles in a simulation environment. This approach necessasarily requires the design and test of a range of simple and complex computational agents. The developed micro-agents in a fungus world testbed are designed to investigate artificial minds for animals and synthetic agents, drawing on qualities found in the natural minds. Qualities such as level of decision making,  its cost function and utility behaviour (the microeconomic level), physiological and goal oriented behaviour are investigated.
