The study, which was conducted by Professor Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England, published its findings in the “Royal Society.” For their study, the researchers in Adamatzky’s laboratory focused on four different fungi: caterpillar, ghost, split gill and enoki fungi. They monitored the electrical signals that fungi send to each other via the underground tubes that connect them in a fungal colony, known as hyphae. The researchers then analyzed these signals, discovering that the signals pulsed in patterns…
