Mushrooms can talk using electrical impulses, researchers claim

Some argue that talking to plants will help promote their health and growth. But U.K. researchers suggest fungi may be fine communicating on its own since it may have a language with “word” lengths that are similar to those of human languages.

Psilocybin mushrooms are fast becoming a subject for their potential health and therapeutic benefits and are likely organisms that would spark some pretty interesting conversations.

The idea behind the current study, however, is that electrical signals of the fungi are seemingly sent to one another, according to The Guardian.

The paper concludes that some fungi use electrical impulses to share and process information internally, notes the Smithsonian Magazine. When signal activity spikes, the publication explains, this creates intricate patterns that researchers suggest may function in the same way as words in human speech.

Speculating that “fungal electrical activity is a manifestation
