A study from the Unconventional Computing Laboratory at the University of the West of England in Bristol, led by scientist Andy Adamatzky, reveals that fungi may communicate through electrical impulses across their mycelial networks.
Adamatzky analyzed the electrical activity of four fungal species — Cordyceps militaris, Schizophyllum, Omphalotus nidiformis, and Flammulina velutipes — using electrodes connected to the hyphae to measure the intensity of the signals transmitted by the mycelium.
He discovered specific patterns that grouped into “words” with a defined syntax. This complex "language" could contain up to 50 different "words" and may serve to share information about resources, warn of dangers, or coordinate the colony's growth.
Nature’s intelligence continues to inspire research and biotechnological innovation.
