Mushroom Mycellium Timelapse Video

Timelapse photography is back with a new setup after a multi year hiatus. Still using the Raspberry PI and old school low res webcam, just in a new location in my utility room with a light on 24/7.

On this video 1 second of play is one hour of real time.

The substrate that the mycellium is growing on is corn, popping corn and about 25% rye grain that have be pressure cooked to sterilized. It also has a small amount of ground coffee mixed in with it to provide small pieces of substrate for the mycellium to branch off of quickly. This batch was inoculated by using a spore syringe, right at the top of the jar and takes a few days to take off and show up in frame.
