Mushroom Artist Painting a Picture

Описание:

This is an oyster mushroom painting. The movement of the arms and paint brushes are controlled by its bio‑electrical signals, and the mushroom even controls the rotation of the canvas. We think it is the first painting ever created by a fungus. The mushroom paints with red and black acrylic inks and a copper‑coloured poured acrylic. The music accompanying the video is taken from a recording of a concert we played with mushrooms at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester in March 2025.
