A computer that relies on fungal mycelium to store information could one day be a low-cost alternative to the current generation of memory hardware. Using plain old shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes), scientists have built working memristors – circuitry elements that ‘remember’ their past electrical states – not from titanium dioxide or silicon, but the root-like (and somewhat neuron-like) part of …
