World Council for Health reports: In a Substack essay, the advocacy organisation World Council for Health and osteopath Christof Plothe argue that electromagnetic fields can act as a biological stressor on fungi, making household mould grow faster and produce more mycotoxins. The piece cites laboratory findings including a 2024 Applied Sciences study in which 900 MHz exposure stimulated mycelial growth in all tested fungal species, while 1800 MHz inhibited sporulation in some, and points to calcium-channel disturbance and oxidative stress as proposed mechanisms. The authors extend these laboratory results to everyday homes with Wi-Fi and suggest reducing EMF alongside conventional mould control.
Note: Essay by an advocacy organisation; it cites peer-reviewed fungal studies but the synthesis and household claims are the authors' own and have not been independently reviewed.

"The core finding across the scientific literature is that non-ionizing electromagnetic fields can act as a biological stressor on fungi"

"The calcium influx triggered by EMF exposure mimics natural electrical signals that fungi use to grow and navigate their environment."
