Mushroom Mossarium - Omphalotus Illudens

Bioluminescent is a natural phenomenon that never ceases to amaze, especially in fungi.
This is a model inpired by the bioluminescent mushroom Omphalotus Illudens and uses a glow in the dark filament.
There is a screw on stick to plant it on a vase or on the ground, and optionally a mossarium base.

• Grow your personal mini mossarium
• Keep your pot plants company with a little fungal light
• Plant them in your garden to mark paths at night
• Place the in your bedroom for company and as night light

The Omphalotus  is also called jack-o'-lantern mushroom and is orange. Its bioluminescence, a blue-green color, can be observed on the gills of fresh specimens in low light conditions once the eye becomes dark-adapted. This is due to an enzyme called luciferase, acting upon a compound called luciferin, leading to the emission of light much as fireflies do when glowing.

How to:

1. Print with glow in the dark filament (the most accurate color would be orange with greenish glow). Be sure to have a well cleaned plate and no air drafts. Use painted supports.
2. Print the screw on stick to plant in a pot

How to Mossarium option:

1. Print the mossarium base, screw on the mushroom
2. Go for a moss hunt, you can find it in the nature or even in cities in non directly lit places.
3. Gater some with a knife or spatula.
4. Place it on the mossarium and mist with water from time to time.
