			In the 90 l bioreactor the fungus is kept alive in an artificial life-support-system that supplies it with water, sugar and oxygen which are its basic needs. The fungus adapts to this system and transforms its body into round pellets that are submerged into the liquid. The bodily presence of the fungus offers people the chance to observe and to reflect about so called “natural” and artificial habitats. A small reference library composed of science facts and science fiction shall aid in this process and shall also encourage to fabulate in the presence of the living fungus.

			Life-Support-Systems'''

	I define systems that serve the purpose of sustaining live of the participating organisms as life-support-systems. This definition distinguishes life-support-systems from the term habitat, which is the natural environment of an organism, in which it can find food, shelter and reproduce. Life-support-systems are artifical and meant to stabilize the parameters of life of the participating organisms. This can include parameters from a natural enviromnent, maybe even mimicking it, but it is not the directive of a life-support-system.
