What I’m working on:
Building a small enclosed setup to observe how fungi grow under different moisture conditions
My goal:
To see how moisture affects the rate and type of fungal growth
My setup / approach:
I’m using two containers:
- One with higher moisture (sealed, damp environment)
- One with lower moisture (more airflow)
Both have the same type of organic material inside
What I’ve observed so far:
The higher moisture container is showing faster growth, but it also looks less structured (more fuzzy)
The lower moisture one is slower but seems more defined
What I’m trying to figure out:
Why the structure of the growth looks different under these conditions
Specific feedback I’m looking for:
Is this a reasonable way to isolate moisture as a variable, or am I unintentionally changing other factors too?
