Living fungal mycelium networks are proven to have properties of memristors,capacitors and various sensors. To further progress our designs in fungalelectronics we need to evaluate how electrical signals can be propagatedthrough mycelium networks. We investigate the ability of mycelium-boundcomposites to convey electrical signals, thereby enabling the transmission offrequency-modulated information through mycelium networks. Mycelia were foundto reliably transfer signals with a recoverable frequency comparable to theinput, in the \SIrange{100}{10000} {\hertz} frequency range. Mycelial adaptiveresponses, such as tissue repair, may result in fragile connections, however.While the mean amplitude of output signals was not reproducible among replicateexperiments exposed to the same input frequency, the variance across groups washighly consistent. Our work is supported by NARX modelling through which anapproximate transfer function was derived. These findings advance the state ofthe art of using mycelium-bound composites in analogue electronics andunconventional computing.
