Unusual closed florarium experiment

I was experimenting with closed florarium I started in a small jar for first test. And noticed that some mushroom mycelium was growing fast in these conditions. At the same time I did not notice any signs of mold.

So when I tried a bigger one I also included a piece of log with Shiitake mycelium on grain under it. Just to see if it will work in this case again. It is hard to see the log - it is in the center, hidded with moss.

Wow, this is interesting! Thank you for your input. Can’t see any mycelium yet — looking forward to the updates 😉🤞

So long time passed since last update That setup above did not work, too intense growing of the plants made it a mess very quickly Also on disassembly I did not find any signs of developing mycelium. Either it died or was eaten.

So after that experiment it was fully remade with slow growing plants There is still a log and I added new mycelium under it (it is under big rock)

But seems that it did not survided too. Do not see any signs of mycelium Possibly it was eaten by isopods living inside.

Also just for aestetics I made 2 small florariums in big jars

What was a surprize is that I hade mushroom fruiting in one of the small florariums Seems that when builing I introduced a branch with mycelium, that was not intended planting It survived and fruited several times, was extremely satisfied how cool it looks.

These seem to be some of Agaricus species and living inside springtails and dwarf whites isopods liked it when it finished its cycle. Hope it will fruit in the future too.
