Fungi are ancient, widely distributed organisms ranging from microscopic single cells to massive mycelium spanning hectares. They possess senses similar to humans, detecting light, chemicals, gases, gravity, and electric fields. It covers fungal electrical activity, sensors, electronics, computing prototypes, and fungal language. Authored by leading experts from diverse fields, the book is accessible to readers of all backgrounds, from high-schoolers to professors. It reveals the remarkable potential of fungal machines while minimizing environmental impact.Emergence, complexity and computation ;47.FungiBiotechnologyFungiBiotechnology.660.62Adamatzky AndrewMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910746286803321Fungal Machines3568973UNINA
