DJ Fungi held their debut festival set in the desert on Earth Day.
Artist and composer Tarun Nayar, who creates experimental music under the Modern Biology alias, hosts an electronic music festival in the desert–DJ’d by his mushrooms.
The mushroom-filled show took place in California’s Joshua Tree landscape. The mushrooms are plugged into Nayar’s outboard gear, which allows him to create music from their electrical signals. These electrical impulses then activate the synthesizers to produce sound and rhythm.

In addition to writing music with mushrooms, Modern Biology puts many edible delicacies such as watermelon, cacao, mango, and cactus in its arsenal for other nervous songs. In 2022, he compiled all the beauty of nature and randomness in an album titled Plant Music Vol 2: Fruits and Flowers of Hawai’i.Last month, he released Field Notesa 13-track album and “love letter to mama nature,” he wrote in a Instagram captions.
“[It’s] the result of 2 years of experimenting and improvising outside. I use plant and mushroom bioelectricity, hidden electromagnetic radiation, field recording, and other nature-based methods to create all the songs.”
