I am starting something new. Every three days, I will post two images of the fungus- from the same angle unless notified, to show the growth of the fungus. :) Each image will show one side of the test tube, at 180 degrees from the angle the other image is taken at.

That's a cool idea. I'm curious to see how this turns out.

Just an update to what I am doing from now on, since they added a lot of new substrate to the side opposite side from which I photographed, I will now be posting TWO images every THREE days, one from each side of the test tube.

That bottom picture of the queen really looks like a Cyphomyrmex queen!

They added a ton of substrate to it, so it does not look so fuzzy right now. :)
