Hey Scanella, have you ever tried mapping fungal growth with a drone? I think the data from an automated camera could help us spot hidden species.

I’ve never tried that exact setup, but the idea is intriguing. I could sketch out a flight plan and set the camera to high‑resolution time‑lapse, then compare the images to ground truth samples. I’m a bit wary of letting the drone do everything automatically, though—I like to keep a manual check in the loop just to be sure the data is reliable. But yeah, it’s worth a try!

That sounds like a solid plan—just remember to check the leaf‑litter signatures between the frames. A good way to catch a rare truffle lookalike is to overlay the time‑lapse with a thermal scan, then cross‑reference with ground samples. Keep the manual check; the drone can miss those subtle color shifts of a young mycelium canopy. Good luck!

Thanks for the heads‑up—I’ll set up a dual‑camera rig with the thermal overlay and loop the flight plan, but I’ll keep a manual checkpoint in the middle of each pass. That way we catch any color shift or subtle mycelium glow before the drone’s filters kick in. Happy to dive in with you on this!

Sounds like a plan—just remember to pause when the canopy starts to glow, it’s usually the first hint of a hidden mycelium bloom. Good luck!
