An illuminated pattern symbolizing the network of living organisms is projected on the floor leading to a giant petri dish. Within it there are the fungi cultures grown by the specialists participating in this multi-disciplinay exhibit. The visitors are following the illuminated path to the darker room where the petri dish dominates.
