Logics in Fungal Mycelium Networks

Abstract The living mycelium networks are capable of efficient sensorial fusion over very large areas and distributed decision making. information processing in the is implemented via propagation electrical chemical signals en pair with morphological changes structure. These mechanisms manifested experimental laboratory findings that show exhibit rich dynamics neuron-like spiking behaviour a wide range non-linear properties. On an example single real colony Aspergillus niger , we demonstrate transformation trains extracellular voltage spikes can be used to implement logical gates circuits. approaches adopted include numerical modelling excitation on network, representation network as resistive capacitive study mining circuits bound composites.
