Day 152: Rip and tear

The grand canyon of dehydration is making it's comeback, and i'm not going to throw in something wet right now so expect it to grow. I will from now on refer to it as "the rift."

In one of the last comments someone asked if i could take a picture without flash, but due the lighting of that room it looked exactly the same. The white fuzzy fungi also absorbs ligth from outside and from the lamp, so they we're just a little bit less white and more tan colored.

The battery will be empty in a few hours, and i won't have a replacement until tomorrow so meh. And I just noticed that there is another opening near the tan fungi, with a small liquid pool in it. So much for dehydration.

It seems that instead of getting covered in the black fungi, the light reflecting fungi is today's biggest population instead. And that piece of bread still hasn't begun to mold yet, instead it's still melting down into this dark brown goo.

The black sludge in the middle seems to be covered with bubble like balls, and i'd nearly want to poke it just to see if it starts moving and spews acid into my face or something, because it's something i haven't seen before yet.

Day 151: Shocking.

Well now that 50% of that shitstorm is over, i finally went into the garden to check up my second lovechild Eden.










Salami and crap too salty? No u!
Now this looks like a delicious pile of shit, you can barely recognize the second piece of meat, and that apple won't be an apple for any longer either.
And the white puss coming out of that little tomato? jesus christ. It's growing mushroom shaped.

One thing that i specially love about this is that nearly every color that Shoggoth has been is present in this mess right now. And ofcourse, the fact that it's growing like i want it to grow, and not becoming a pot of slime.

Speaking of not becoming a pot of slime;


"I need lightning to make my man of mold aliiiiive!"





The first thing that really caught my attention was ofcourse the colour change to grimdark gray, and how on camera most of it catches/reflects the light of the flash. The tan colored part also looks kind of sweet, though it will be overgrown with gray fungi in a small matter of time.

But, inspecting the picture a bit more...
White bits of fungi are growing on the upper steel wire (The + charged part.) but not on the other side. This is probally due to the location difference, but it still looks a bit odd.
It could be just coincidence, but i don't see why fungi would need to grow on electrified steel. (And yes, i checked if the battery still had some charge. I'll need to replace it in ~2 days)

The smell has also become well... the bad smell is gone again. Tomorrow i won't be home alone anymore, but i'm going to try to keep it at this spot, it's perfect; Electric socket for the lamp, window for fresh air and bad smell removal next to it, and the room heating conviently placed directly below Shoggoth.

Day 150: Things got in the way.

Sorry can't really update right now, lotsa problems.

well.

Adsense account deactivated. (And they don't give a single clue why either.)
"Well i wasn't planning on keeping it on anyway, it didn-"
All earned money will be given back to adword publishers.

Well shit. That ruins my day. Regular update coming in an hour or two...

Day 149: God bless Thomas Edison.

Did i ever tell you how much i love lamps?

Just look at this man, light reflecting fungi and these strange chainmail/worm like formations everywhere, adding to that the fact there are still gas bubbles coming out, and well, wasn't this a puddle of rainwater yesterday?










Oh shit that gas bubble leak is staring at you.
Funny how those rings/strings of fungi are almost everywhere, but for some reason they do change colors all over the place. And that bread is kind of.. melting. Just like that white pill that i threw in a week ago; Speaking of which, thats the bright thing next to the bubble "eye".
The strange bug corpse in the upper right corner seems to be becoming Charlie 2.

I don't know if electricity helps, or the temperature (probally the second though if i'd be able to think in common sense.) But you got to admit, the results are sweet so far.

...Which made me check the batteries, and according to the charging device there's still power left in the battery just less than yesterday. So electric circuit: succesful.

I did check Eden, but there wasn't much to write about so i'll leave that alone for today.

EDIT 1:









See that stuff between the fungi and bread, near the electrified steel wire? What the hell? Is it a bubble or..?

Day 148: Welcome home, you dirty bastard.

I woke up, looked outside;
Storm.
Shit.

Went into the garden and one of the worst things that could happen happened; The lid of Shoggoth was thrown of by the wind. Shoggoth's container was almost fully filled with rain water. And from experience with Kweeksel and that failed bottle i can tell that a large amount of liquid is very bad for growth, so i had to dump most of it... Which probally includes a million bacteria or something.










Though you can still recognize the old "landmarks", it still looks... ruined. But he'll recover. And see that in the bottom left corner? That looks like slime out of a horror movie man. I added some bread after taking tis picture which will soak up a bit of the fluids.

So basicly it's a deja vu moment;
Shoggoth gets damaged by outside weather -> Shoggoth goes back home.










At first i kept him at this place, i mean, it's where the Shoggies and such started to appear, but i decided to go back further, to where it all started;










It's like the begin all over again.
I hope the lamp will help a bit with temperature, and otherwise i'm going to get that heating device again, got to pump up that electric bill!

Wait you know what? Now that it's already damaged by weather hazard, let's add another hazardous element.










1.21 Gigawatts is now running through Shoggoth. (Well, a standard 9V battery that is) I doubt it will do anything, but screw it, experimentation time fuck yes.

And yes, Eden was safe from most of the rain, only a little amount came in which will only help the growth instead. So Eden didn't have much new stuff to talk about. And i still haven't refilled the bottle or my new tiny glass jar.

Day 147: Sigh.

It rained a bit into Eden, but the mold growth is still growing nontheless. The salami even started to become more dry instead of getting wet.
The white puss hasn;t grown much yet and is probally slowly eating the tomato from within, while the meat and egg gets covered in Kweeksel like gray fungi.
The growth on the apple makes no sense at all, it doesn't grow on the juicy, soft parts but on the hard to digest parts instead.

Shoggoth was unharmed by the rain. That bottle was filled so i dumped the contents into the garden, meh, experiment failed.

Shoggoth still looked the same. This is becoming very boring.
I mean, i want to write daily, but if nothing happens like the last i dont know how long, well what am i going to write about?

Results:







And really, I myself grow bored of this to.
If nothing keeps happening it starts to feel a bit like a chore. I want Shoggoth to out-live Kweeksel but meh. 9 days to go and Shoggoth will be just as old as Kweeksel was, and then i guess i'll have to wonder what to do next.
