They didn’t make RAM. But they tried to see if this fungus could act as a memristor. A memristor is one of the four fundamental electrical components, along with resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
One of those tests was a volatile memory test. Think of it more like storing a single bit vs with RAM where you have an addressable space of values you can set and read.
