structure: | |||
why? | |||
-> saving electricity | |||
-> sustainability | |||
realisation process | |||
-> 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 | |||
where do we want to exhibit it? Showcase 3 places here in Weimar | |||
-> University | |||
-> Lichthaus Kino | |||
-> Jena botanischer Garten | |||
Necessary tests: | |||
-> biorythm testing | |||
-> longtime study of mushroom lifespan | |||
-> temperature? Is roomtemperature okay? | |||
-> Nutrition? Is moisture in the substrate? | |||
-> when does it glow? How does it decide to glow? Can it be used during the day? | |||
-> 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 | |||
