Electrical Signals in Fungal Networks
Electrical spikes are measurable in fungi. Their biological roles are worth investigating; the recordings do not demonstrate a human-like fungal language.
Fungal tissues can display measurable changes in electrical potential. Researchers are investigating the mechanisms, propagation and possible physiological significance of these signals.
The observation of electrical spikes does not demonstrate a linguistic code or human-like conversation among fungi.
