Let's have some fun with digital #microscopy!

Fungus: Pleurotus eryngii

How a Fungal Network as Dynamical System looks like?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here it is some visuals about a fungal network struggle for survival. Edges get broken, edges get established; exploration of the fluid for nurishment is continuous. The tiny machinery of the hyphae scales up. 
 Follow the red circles for most relevant actions while taking a look to the metrics:
 * mean: mean percentage of pixels frame to frame 
 * mid-range: middle point between max and min percentage of frame variance 
 * variance: delta of variances from mean percentage, current frame by previous frame
 * max-var-diff: max variance recorded, at which frame was recorded, how many frames have passed since max variance

 What's happening and how to notice it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look at the changes highlighted by the red circles but also find your own by noticing pixels changes. Check how changes in the pictures correlate to the variance and max variance.
In the rightmost representation, black dots define which picels are changing frame by frame.
