Researcher Envisions Future Where Memory Chips Grown, Not Mined

● 25/10/2025
“Everything you’d need to start exploring fungi and computing could be as small as a compost heap and some homemade electronics, or as big as a culturing factory with pre-made templates. All of them are viable with the resources we have in front of us now.”
– Neural engineer John LaRocco, on the minimal infrastructure needed for fungal computing. LaRocco and Ohio State colleagues recently demonstrated shiitake mushrooms can function as biodegradable memristors—RAM-like memory—that store information through electrical resistance.
