This is from the inside of an earthstar mushroom (Geastrum Triplex) seems you can make the spores move just by changing the light that shine on them 😮
Managed it with some other plants too I am guessing it might have to do with the epiflourescent light being at the blue end of the visible light spectrum so things are reacting as it it the end of the day. 🤔

Fascinating. You must have a high end microscope.
Well I am not planning on buying another any time soon! Even with a heavy discount it wasn't cheap. I think I might try some other sources of light too but I will have to improvise that myself.
I believe there is much to learn about nature, especially things we cannot see with the naked eye.
Of course but we have everything worked out now, exactly like we did 10 years ago 😂.
We know nothing, that is all what I have learnt so far...it pretty amusing to be honest. It wasn't that long ago people though microbes only went into plants when they were sick now we know that's how they grow their roots and feed.
This is so fascinating! What scope you using?

That's extremely interesting, I haven't noticed any movement based on the light like you've captured.
Having said that, unfortunately I don't have the Epi yet, still working my way up to purchasing the set up!
Initial thoughts as I watched your video: when you turn on the epi light, the movement seems to uniformly move away from the epi module light source. Once you switch back to your standard lightsource, the movement appears to be moving back to the original position.
Making me think that the fungi is trying to protect itself from the wavelength of light that's bombarding it from the module by increasing the distance between the unit and the hyphal structure itself.
That crossed my mind too, the moving away does seem likely. It's the inside of a puffball like structure so its unlikely to ever be exposed like this. The moving back to the original position is the surprising thing for me, as well the trichomes moving on the cannabis flower moving like a little pump others things appeared to bend or melt a bit but didn't move back in the same way. This is obviously not the same species or conditions as the flower was mostly dried out but that is what made me think it could be part of a daily cycle shaking the spores off the hairs for release when rain eventually hits the ball and puffs them out. If I could record the film from one direction and expose the puffball from another direction that might give me more indication from this. Anyway lots to think about and thanks for your thoughts.
