<p>➀ Scientists have developed a working memristor using the mycelium of shiitake mushrooms, offering a potential low-cost, scalable, and environmentally friendly alternative to current memory hardware.</p><p>➁ The performance of these 'mushristors' is comparable to that of silicon-based chips, with the added benefit of being biodegradable.</p><p>➂ The research, published in PLOS One, suggests that the future of computing could involve fungal materials.</p>
