Recent research highlights the potential of mushrooms as organic memory chips for future computing. Edible fungi, such as shiitake mushrooms, have demonstrated the ability to function as memristors—data processors capable of remembering past electrical states. These mushroom-based devices offer comparable performance to traditional semiconductor chips, with added benefits of being low-cost, biodegradable, and energy-efficient. While still in early stages, fungal electronics present a promising path toward sustainable, brain-inspired computing components, with possible applications ranging from edge computing to wearable devices. Further development may enable scalable, environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional memory technologies.

Previous experience has demonstrated products made out of edible things are invariably found delicious by some vermin and create more problems than they solve in result.
