Scientists at Cornell University have developed a new biohybrid robot that uses components from beyond the animal kingdom.
The team grew the mycelium directly into the electronics of a robot, tapping into natural signals from the nervous system of a fungus.
When sent to the actuators, the robot moves in response to the fungus, which itself sends out signals to get moving.
This method could make for more responsive robots.
