Editor’s summaryMany biohybrid robots are powered by animal or plant cells, which are sensitive to specific culture procedures and limited to short life spans. In contrast, fungi can be easily cultured and are robust in extreme conditions. Taking advantage of fungal mycelia’s natural light sensitivity, Mishra et al. developed an electrical interface to both house the mycelia and measure their electrophysiological action potentials.
