A Japanese team wired 37 ectomycorrhizal mushrooms to measure electrical communication in a forest network.
Watering a single mushroom boosted information flow, while watering many reduced the overall signal.
Exposure to urine also decreased mushroom communication, the researchers noted.
The team aims to map electric signals to specific fungal activities with further study.
The findings appear in Scientific Reports as part of broader research into fungal networks.
Mushrooms form underground networks that connect distant fungal communities via mycelial webs.
Researchers say the work helps explain how environmental factors shape fungal communication.
The study contributes to the understanding of mycelial networks and their responses to conditions like water and urine.
The lead researcher is Yu Fukasawa of Tohoku University, Sendai.
