It's time to celebrate because my project reached it's financial target!
An extra special thanks to all those who have donated to "Can we hear how mycelia communicate?'' A big thanks to "Morty" for coming through yesterday and donating exactly $247 to top off my campaign. You've all made me a very happy lady who is one step closer to seeing her dream project become a reality. 

Thank you to all my backers! <3 Experiment Foundation, Chris Caulfield, Morty, Jonathan O'Donnell, Erin Culley, Laura Walker Lee, Rachel Kropa, Meghan OBrien, Cora Heiser, anonymous, Danilo, Umar Khan, Christian Skogstad, David Lang, RabatKongen, Federico Giuntoli, and WEEMING

About This Project

Can we hear how mycelia communicate?

Mycelial networks are the root like structures of fruiting body mushrooms. Spontaneous electrical low-frequency oscillations (SELFOs) have been recorded throughout these networks potentially as a form of communication. I want to record the interactions between mycelial bodies of same species and of different species to see if the SELFOs differ between these two. Understanding the way mycelial networks communicate can lead to influencing growth and other metabolic processes.
