Mushrooms are the coolest. Not quite flora, not quite fauna, they are a secret third thing—isn't that neat? Many types of fungi have also been observed to form symbiotic relationships with the root systems of plants. Sometimes mutualistic, sometimes parasitic, this root-meets-fungus network is called 'Mycorrhiza'—and a similar web of mycelium may one day come rummy new app to a rig near you.
No, this isn't my pitch for a funguspunk trilogy, this is rummy nobel actual science. Researchers at the Ohio State University recently found that mushrooms you can eat can also be trained to act as bioelectronic data processors (via phys.org). Specifically, the team grew shiitake and button mushrooms, dehydrated these cultures for long-term use, and trained the fungi to function like organic memristors through methodical electrocution.
Obviously, you won't be able to play The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on what amounts to a portobello mushroom suffused with electrodes any time soon, but this early research is no less compelling—especially with how screwed memory prices are thanks to AI. For one thing, when the researchers attempted to use their dehydrated mushroom cultures like RAM, they found the samples performed with a 90% accuracy rate. Performance waned when the fungus was exposed to more frequent electrical shocks but this was remedied by, you guessed it, adding more mushrooms to the circuit.
For another, the researchers are also keen to note that "shiitake has exhibited radiation resistance, suggesting its viability for rummy royal aerospace applications." Rockets navigated by mushrooms—now that's a vision of the future I don't think I'd mind living in.
