Researchers found that fungi may communicate using electrical pulses exchanged through their hyphae, the structures that absorb nutrients. A study published in Royal Society Open Science revealed that the electrical activity recorded from these organisms formed patterns resembling up to 50 words. While the team suggests this “language” could convey information about injury or food availability, they also caution that the pulses might lack meaning. The research highlights the complex interactions within fungal networks, hinting at a potential method of communication among these unassuming organisms. Further details are available in the full article linked in the bio.
