"That is, can the European ants learn to use fungi if the need arises?"
I think this is unlikely, the relationship is less like knowledge and more like a biological integration between the fugi and the ants. They have evolved to need each other to survive.
Ants can learn some things, such as the map of the resources near their colony, or signs that food might appear. But farming isn't learned.
