Fungi, particularly species like Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushrooms), generate measurable bioelectrical activity as part of their physiological processes. These electrical signals arise from the movement of ions across cell membranes, which occurs during growth, nutrient transport, and environmental responses. By placing electrodes on or near the fungal tissue, researchers can detect voltage fluctuations, typically in the millivolt range, that reflect this ionic movement. These fluctuations can be captured as time-series data and converted into motion or directly into digital signals, such as MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), allowing the biological activity to control sound synthesis, visual outputs, or mechanical movement. This bioelectrical interfacing exemplifies an emerging field at the intersection of bioengineering, art, and environmental sensing, where living organisms act as dynamic input systems for creative or analytical technologies.
