Towards fungal computer - by Andrew Adamatzky
We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium network and an interface is realized via fruit bodies. In a series of scoping experiments, we demonstrate that electrical activity recorded on fruits might act as a reliable indicator of the fungi’s response to thermal and chemical stimulation. A stimulation of a fruit is reflected in changes of electrical activity of other fruits of a cluster, i.e. there is distant information transfer between fungal fruit bodies. In an automaton model of a fungal computer, we show how to implement computation with fungi and demonstrate that a structure of logical functions computed is determined by mycelium geometry.
Academics are making 'intelligent buildings' with the help of fungi - The Centre for Unconventional Computing is using fungal colonies in surprising ways.

Samim.io: "Like going to a sauna with a cold shower afterwards"
Got the following message from a regular reader of this blog, based in Hong Kong. It made me smile: "Samim's blog: The last sane corner of the Internet. The (one of the rare, if not only) place where bullshit gets called out. Thanks for keeping posting, Samim. Visiting here feels like going to a sauna with a cold shower afterwards (that feels good!). ❣️"

Once you decide you want a good life, the universe will start moving things for you to have it. The people you need will happen, the doors you need open will unblock. But not until you decide..once you truly, sincerely decide, miracles will happen.
