🍄 Bioluminescent Fungi Forest: Mycelial Growth & Luciferase Kinetics (2D)

2D bioluminescent-fungi lab: hyphal-tip mycelial branching grown with a density-limited (DLA-style) algorithm, lit by a real Michaelis-Menten luciferin-luciferase kinetics model gated by a sinusoidal day/night circadian suppression.

This 2D companion replaces the 3D forest scene with the biochemistry and growth math actually driving it: a density-limited hyphal-tip growth algorithm branches a mycelial network outward from a handful of spore points using fungal-realistic branching-angle statistics, while every segment's brightness is computed live from a Michaelis-Menten luciferin-luciferase saturation curve gated by a sinusoidal day/night circadian suppression term — drag the substrate, branching and time-of-day sliders and watch the network's shape and glow respond to real enzyme kinetics rather than a decorative twinkle.
