Mycelium Network
The mushrooms slowly transition through several colours whilst the mycelium strobes and pulses. They almost look as if they are moving around and sending messages similar to a human nervous system.
Mycelium Network includes three main concepts, colour changing clusters of mushrooms, the mycelium network, and most importantly, the animation of the mycelium, which represents the root structure being alive and communicating. Two separate fibre optic light sources and fibre optic bundles are used for this. One for the mushrooms stipes and caps and one for the mycelium which makes the roots look like they are moving around and communicating.
