From the Good News Network comes a story so bizarre, I'm honestly wondering if it's real- about musicians who hook up bionic arms to a mushroom so it can play electronic drums:

What do you think- is this for real or just a prank?

I have heard of such things before. Apparently they read electrical impulses from the plants and use that as information.

Thank you for posting this, I especially liked the story where the plant was put in a cart  and trained itself to drive so it could move towards a source of water to get a drink! Hilarious!

I have a thought.....


Maybe someone is *looking* for fungi to be musical.  Therefore an apparatus is constructed that somehow makes sounds come from some electronic music device (speaker).  At that point, that sound is deemed *music* and therefore it must be the creation of the mushroom!


I am a bit skeptical, but yeah, it is sort of weird-cool.  And I like weird.

I saw a similar video the other day, my husband showed it to me, he was more into it than I was, I'm skeptical.
