Could a wild shaped druid use telepathy?
Let's say she dipped into Mystic or is a home-brew race that has telepathy.
PHB p. 67 says this about wild shape:
Let's say player is for instance a mindflayer (no need to debate this).
Mindflayer in MM has telepathy listed under Languages not Senses.
Telepathy in this case would be psionic, not magic.
But does a brown bear have the "capability" to use psionics?
It seems ambiguous RAW and probably just a DM call.
But since I'm the DM making the call, I could use some help.

PHB p. 67 says this about wild shape:
- •You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is
limited to thecapabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’tbreak your concentration
on a spell you’ve alreadycast, however, or prevent you from taking actions thatare part of a
spell, such as calllightning, that you’vealready cast.
• You retain the benefit of any features from your class,race, or other source and can use
them if the newform is physically capable of doing so. However, youcan’t use any of your
special senses, such as darkvi-sion, unless your new form also has that sense.
