🍄 Mycelium Network Simulator (2D)

2D Petri-dish mycelium: tip extension with Monod kinetics, stochastic branching, chemotropism, anastomosis, nutrient uptake and a shared reserve pool, with three in-page numerical checks and a Blender-rendered soil and wood backdrop.

⚙ Under the hood

Top-down 2D simulation of fungal mycelium: hyphal tips grow from germinating spores, steer up nutrient gradients (chemotropism), branch more often when food is scarce, feed on and deplete nutrient patches, and fuse into a connected network through anastomosis. Adjust nutrient density, branching rate and growth speed.
