Mushroom Artist Painting a Picture

Description:

This is an oyster mushroom painting. The movement of the arms and paint brushes are controlled by its bio-electrical signals. The mushroom is even controlling the rotation of the canvas. We think it's the first painting that a fungi has ever created. The mushroom is painting with red and black acrylic inks and a copper coloured poured acrylic. The music is taken from a recording of a concert we played (with mushrooms) at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester in March 2025. #mushroom #artist #bionics #fungi #robot #acylicpainting #art
