GMU:Habitats SS18/Jan Georg Glöckner: Difference between revisions

Based on the theory that a fungus will grow indefinetly, as long as it is provided with enough food and has no physical boundaries¹, I grow Pleurotus Ostreatus and Pleurotus Djamor in liquid culture. This theory opposes the opinion that fungi are subject to a process called senescence or biological ageing that leads to loss in vigor and the eventual death of a individuum².

Let the fungi grow in a shape that makes it easier for hominina to relate to it. The shape should be appealing and spark empathy.

Investigate and search for partners to the fungi, that can supply the needed resources to sustain life.

Design a system that sustains the live of the fungi and their partner for as long as possible.

Prove that there is no such thing as senescence for fungi and that the effect described as such can be prevented in a laboratory set-up.
