New study outlines basic elements of mushroom language, including possible vocabulary lists of 15-50 "words", as measured through electrical activity transmitted in mycelium (fungal root system) networks. Via @andrew

Language of fungi derived from their electrical spiking activity | Royal Society Open Science
Fungi exhibit oscillations of extracellular electrical potential recorded via differential electrodes inserted into a substrate colonized by mycelium or directly into sporocarps. We analysed electrical activity of ghost fungi (Omphalotus nidiformis), ...
