Each mushroom cap's emissive glow oscillates on its own sine wave, mimicking the slow "breathing" light produced by fungal bioluminescence (a luciferin-luciferase reaction) — a signal thought to help lure spore-dispersing insects through the night forest. From a shared pool of particles, spores continuously drift upward from the caps, wobbling on air currents until they expire and respawn from a random mushroom, approximating real spore dispersal. Fireflies and drifting mist add ambient motion around the glowing colony. Use the controls below to reshape the forest and its glow/spore behavior in real time.
