Figures & data
Figure 1. Experimental setup. (a) Example of recording from Psilocybe cubensis basidiocarps. (b) Example of recording from Psilocybe tampanensis mycelium-colonized substrate and view of the experimental setup, in which the electrodes with cables and Pico ADC-24 are seen. (cd) Examples of electrical activity of (c) Psilocybe cubensis, two channels, and (d) Psilocybe tampanensis, one channel.
Table 1. Statistical parameters of spiking. In each cell we show average, standard deviation and median.
Figure 2. (a) Example of an action-potential like voltage spike, Psilocybe cubensis. (b) Train of two spikes, Psilocybe cubensis(c) Example of fast and slow spike activity,Psilocybe cubensis. An average duration of a fast spike is 3 min. An average duration of a slow spike is 16 min. Examples of fast spikes are labeled ‘F’ and slow ‘S’. Train of three slow spikes is also marked. (d) Example of three spikes in electrical potential of Psilocybe tampanensis, peaks of the spike are labeled ⋆. (e) Twotrains of spikes recorded in Psilocybe cubensis: one train comprises of three spikes, another of four spikes; spike are marked by ⋆.(f) Very fast, average 1.5 min, spikes of electrical potential recorded in Psilocybe cubensis. (g) Co-existence of high amplitude,labeled ‘H’, and low amplitude, labeled ‘L’, spikes in electrical activity of Psilocybe cubensis.
Figure 3. (a) Spike width versus spike amplitude distribution constructed on recording from bother species of fungi studied. (b) Distribution of spike widths, (c) Distribution of interval between spikes. Bin size is 500 in both distributions. (d) Distribution of spike amplitudes, bin size is 0.1.
