Good Idea: Electrecute your Garden

The research suggests that controlled electrical stimulation can enhance the growth of mushrooms. However, there's a specific range of electrical voltages that seems to work best. The study found that a moderate electrical pulse led to a significant increase in the size of mushroom fruit bodies.he results showed that the mushrooms grew 1.3 to 2 times bigger when they got this electrical treatment. For one type of mushroom called Lentinula edodes, they got the best results with a moderate electrical zap (around 50 to 100 kV).

A low current in the soil does not only speed up mushroom growth but also plant growth. Soil microbes interact with plant roots to generate low voltage. Specific electrodes planted in the soil convert the voltage into a low current that acts as a stimulus for plant growth by boosting metabolic processes, including photosynthesis.
