slime mold: one big cell that grows toeards the food. What experiments can be done with it? Idea: how would slime mold plan rail networks

* grow fungi (panellus stypticus)
* inside glass cube
* run some tests on when the mushroom glows
* setup gives mushroom food and moisture
* find out more about mushrooms biorythm

Plans for setup

* reuse old exit-sign cases (test if it works with the plastic and color)
* fill it with substrate and grow mushroom in there
* install mushroom case

-> biorythm testing  
* longtime study of mushroom lifespan  
 
* temperature? Is roomtemperature okay?
-> longtime study of mushroom lifespan  
* Nutrition? Is moisture in the substrate?
 
* when does it glow? How does it decide to glow? Can it be used during the day?
-> temperature? Is roomtemperature okay?
* examine exit signs; Are there brightnesslevels that have to be achieved? Is the case a suitable home for the mushroom? Who to ask for permission to install the mushroom cases
