Mushrooms Playing Music

kottke.org November 07, 2025 By Jason Kottke

Bionic and the Wires connects sensors to plants and fungi to help them play music.

The attached sensors measure bio-electrical fluctuations in the mushroom. The fluctuations are converted into signals that control the robotic arms. The keyboard is playing a synth in Ableton Live.

What are the chances it’s just saying “uh, can you get these things off of me?” Top YouTube comment tho: “Play that fungi music.” (thx, pascal)
