Yeah best to ask Andrew because I don't have any experience with a setup where you can see the fungus!

I was wondering if it would be possible to change my set up to a clinical one! As I would really love to be able to see the development of the fungus! Anyone's thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Look at some of my old journals, even my new set up. You need to house them in a heated unit.
I'll help with any questions you have once you have an idea on what your going to do.
