I'be seen something very simmilar to this, I was at a reptile store/zoo and they had some very tropical exhibits.  In one of the displays(dendrobatid azures i think) i saw a couple whitish perfect mushrooms growing!  At first, i didn't believe it, then i thought they were fake, but i saw the mycelium and rhizomorphs at their base and it was pretty damn cool.

actually 2 years ago i set up a terrarium for some d. azurues arrow frogs, while setting up the tank i used mosses and bromiliads but in one corner i layed some rye grain flower maybe 2 inches deap then inoculated(sp?) them with b+ spores then after about a week i put a thin loose layer of peat moss on top and sure enough it provided me with shrooms for about 3 weeks but i stopped eating them once it was set up and i had put the frogs in there, actually the shrooms started spreading for a while , however it stopped producing not too long after, also i used a uv flourecent for lighting

well that settles it then.  d. azures (my fav dart) seems to be a catalyst organism for mushrooms.  We have a new tek, the Posion Dart Frog tek! Poke, i like you idea,  the divider should cut in half long wise, with mushies in back, with frog landscape in front. That way it'd kinda look like the entrance to some crazy mushroom forest!!

Also, with the living terrarium, remeber that an ecosystems strength is related to its biodiversity.  But it'd be better to find a few strong ecopartners than a whole bunch of random plants and animals...

I think worms aren't problem. They eat bad things in the soil and shits good things to the soil. I say this as a veterinary medicine student. And worms make holes that make air exchange easy.

and don't forget what you all do in a terraium is just imitate the conditions of mother nature. As you know we learn from mother nature because she has the best conditions in universe. So in my opinion if you give the part of nature (good old myceliums) to her mother's arms she will take care of it. If it gets mold then it is because of it must have molds for any reason.

It seems great idea to put some plant into the terrarium. Plant can take care of co2 and o2 exchange and humidity. Just be careful on plant select.

As as second thought you can put a lizard in another container into the terrarium if you can buy to grow. an animal, plant and mushrooms will grow friendly :=)

if anything seems not ok in my sentences it is just because of :rastamon: jamaican people :=) just want to share my thoughts :=)





Actually worms are very bad... they aren't even native to north america. That and they destroy the forest

The only problem with worms is that they move the forest litter lower than the root zones of many plants (which is a big problem in deciduous forests)

i grew some brazilians in a Giant day gecko vivarium. i got 1 decent flush before the worms and other bugs got to them. the other problem i found is because they are on the bottom of the enclosure (in my case it was 5' tall) it got very little light....very little.

its pretty cool to see shrooms growing in a cage with other stuff around!

Where the heck did you get this information? Maybe I'm just not getting a subtle joke. Worms are native to the entire planet, there are thousands of species native to every single habitat on earth. Earthworms have been in North American soil far longer than mammals OR dinosaurs, and far longer than any living forest.

There are worms which are not native to north american forests, there are even destructive worms that have been transplanted, however to say worms aren't native and are "very bad" is crazy talk hehe. We are talking one of the most fundamental soil conditioning animals on the entire planet. Worms have been in our soils for 600+ million years. "Worms" are one of the earliest known multi-cellular life forms. They are as primordial and ubiquitous as you can get.

Not that it's a definate truth but we had a day in my old Soils geology class about worms, and both the book and some pamphlets said that the common earthworm is not native to the US. As they reach deciduous forests they eat the aboveground earth matter and leave deposits, balls of casing, in burrows. The problem is that these burrows are often lower in the ground than the trees' root zones. That leaf matter would have previously been eaten by mushrooms and bacteria and other microorganisms, which would convert the leaves back into food for the trees. Instead, it's put out of reach of but the largest trees.

Ahh, ok, I googled a bit and you are right about the common earthworm, or nightcrawler. Its a European species introduced several centuries ago to North America. However there are around 2700 species of earthworms. There are several dozen that exist in north america in large numbers. Anyway, I just thought it kinda strange to refer to worms as bad for the environment :-) Even if certain varieties are, its a moot point as there is nothing that can be done about it other than adaptation of the affected species of plants and their environments.

i think it would be easier not to mention more efficient to adapt the worms..
