🍄 Fungal Computing
In 2010 researchers found that a slime mould could reproduce a map of Tokyo's transit system of its own accord — and it turns out slime moulds can solve tasks in computational geometry, image processing, logic and arithmetic. Bristol's Unconventional Computing Laboratory explores mycelial
In 2010 researchers found that a slime mould could reproduce a map of Tokyo's transit system of its own accord — and it turns out slime moulds can solve tasks in computational geometry, image processing, logic and arithmetic. Bristol's Unconventional Computing Laboratory explores mycelial networks and 'wetware' that transcends our traditional ideas of computation, part of a growing body of work inviting us to rethink our relationship with fungi.
