Fungal electronics is a family of living electronic devices made of mycelium bound composites or pure mycelium. Fungal electronic devices are capable of changing their impedance and generating spikes of electrical potential in response to external control parameters. Fungal electronics can be embedded into fungal materials and wearables or used as stand alone sensing and computing devices.
This reminds me of the mid 90s when my dad gave me a book called Saved By The Light a supposed true story about a guy that had a bunch of visions of the future after he was struck by lightning.
In that book he predicted a bunch of crap that was pretty obvious (wars in the middle east) but also he said Israel would design a bio-chip, that integrated living tissue or cells with microchips and would forever change the world. At that time it sounded insane. I’m curious how about these devices though, it still sounds pretty out-there.
also don’t forget brain cells on a chip playing doom :)
wait what?
