The biodynamics and physics of fungi are pretty amazing. I’m lucky to have Nik as a professor.

That is wonderful! And that sense of whimsy and delight on the part of their professors is how two of my kids ended up as biology majors. Well done!

Hey Mike D!

Don’t forget about Roquefort, Stilton and Gorgonzola! Just a few of the delectable varieties of cheese that contain mold…….

“Nicholas Money, an expert on fungi at Miami University, has been playing around with very fast video”

I guess you could call this the “Money shot”?

Camembert, Blue Cheese, and many other cheeses are ripened via mold (penicillium in many cases). But I think they are first processed by bacteria, then mold.

Mike D.: Are you arguing that Camembert doesn’t have an outer layer of white mold or that Camembert isn’t a cheese?

frelkins: Years ago, there were “rocket” toys that you filled with water, pumped full of air, and then released the clip on the pump, letting the rocket shoot several feet into the air. Not 180kG, granted, but that is what this would be scaled up. Darned square-cube rule.

kuhnigget: Cheese is from bacteria, not mold, and I doubt mushrooms work this way. It’s cow patties you need to never look at the same way again… they have a 6-foot ranged attack you never knew about.

Dr. Money: Awesome. ‘Nuff said.
