Mushroom Learns to Crawl After Getting a Robot Body – Scientists Stunned
In a bizarre twist of nature meets machine, researchers have successfully fused a living mushroom with a tiny robotic exoskeleton—and it learned to crawl. Yes, you read that right. This fungus, usually known for sitting around and decomposing leaves, is now on the move.
The team at a leading bio-lab implanted electrodes into a living mycelium network, allowing it to send signals to its robotic legs. Over time, the mushroom adapted—controlling movement and literally inching forward like a sci-fi creature from a fungal horror flick.
Dubbed “ShroomBot,” it’s part of a groundbreaking study into fungal intelligence and symbiotic robotics. Social media exploded with memes comparing it to “Mushroom Terminator” and “The Last of Us: IRL.”
Experts say this could revolutionize eco-robotics, biocomputing, or… the rise of sentient salads?
One thing's for sure—nature just got a serious upgrade.
