Building a #mycelium ... an item in our museum (unknown technique). @fiberarts

More about the technique, which was a hype at the end of the 1960s (I still search for the name): https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/115644399768918679

Готово — английский перевод + хэштеги в конце.
Below is what I found about the Mycelium developers and the project itself (its goals, architecture, and status).
👤 Who is behind Mycelium — developers and initiators
Mycelium is developed by ThreeFold (ThreeFold Tech / ThreeFold Grid).
In official announcements, a contributor named **Lee Smet** is mentioned as leading the effort to build a new IPv6 overlay network.
The project is open-source, with the repository hosted on GitHub.
ThreeFold is an organization promoting decentralized networks and infrastructure. Mycelium is a component of their ecosystem — not a third-party plugin, but a native project.
🛠 What is Mycelium — architecture and key properties
Mycelium is:
An IPv6 overlay network written in Rust.
When joining, each node receives an IPv6 address from the `400::/7` range.
All connections are end-to-end encrypted; each node has a public/private key pair, and its network address is cryptographically tied to the private key.
The network is **locality-aware** — routing chooses optimal paths with minimal latency.
It supports multiple transport protocols: TCP, QUIC, etc.
Routing is inspired by (or partially based on) the **Babel routing protocol**.
Mycelium can operate without a TUN interface (as a **message bus only**) for lightweight encrypted data exchange.
The repository includes a **message-system** layer enabling encrypted messaging above the network layer.
📡 Project goals, design, and future direction
Mycelium aims to deliver a **secure, efficient and scalable** alternative to the traditional Internet with focus on privacy, decentralization, and resilience.
It is designed as part of the wider **ThreeFold Grid** ecosystem — serving as the network backbone for their services.
The developers target **planet-scale scalability**.
Mycelium is positioned not only as a private networking solution, but as infrastructure for many scenarios: secure P2P communications, self-hosting, IoT networking, decentralized services, cloud infrastructures, CDN-like usage, etc.
As of 2024–2025, Mycelium remains under active development — scaling is a key focus.
✅ Status, implementation and limitations
Mycelium is operational with builds available for Linux, macOS, Windows; iOS and Android are planned / in beta.
Documentation claims support for **up to ~100,000 nodes** within a single network.
Planned improvements include: enhanced resilience, NAT support, QUIC hole-punching, protocol expansion, easier deployment.
Mycelium is an actively maintained open-source project under the Apache-2.0 license.
🔎 Summary — strengths and potential risks
**Strengths:**
High-level security and privacy: true E2E encryption and crypto-bound addressing.
Decentralization — no single point of control.
Flexible: full IPv6 network or lightweight encrypted message bus.
Suitable for many use cases: private networking, P2P, IoT, remote work, decentralized services, private Internet access.
**Limitations / risks:**
Still maturing — global scaling goal remains unproven.
P2P overlay networks always depend on trust and correct configuration of peers.
Unclear real-world adoption and number of active nodes — affects reliability.
Some external services may still see public exit IP addresses (e.g., through NAT), which may reduce anonymity in practice.
If you want, I can **check live network metrics** — number of active nodes, adoption level, known issues, etc.

2/2 new species of a #fungus lived #symbiotic. For billions of years, life on Earth lived solely in water. It was only around half a billion years ago that #plants first started to grow on landopens in a new window – but exactly how these organisms first made that transition has remained a mystery. The discovery adds to a growing body of evidence that #fungi had an important role to play. https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.70655

When I built this large bed in my #garden two years ago, the gardener who helped brought very bare ground for free. Very awesome, but now after two years of adding #homemade #compost finally the first #mushroom appears 😍

Totally enjoying this conversation 🩷

🌧️ Rain + Mushrooms = Magic 🍄
Fungal threads (mycelium) are everywhere—in soil, leaves, and wood—quietly forming tiny “buttons” beneath the surface. Out of sight, they wait for the right moment.

When rain soaks the ground, the buttons swell with moisture and push up through the forest floor. Small mushrooms can appear in a day; larger ones take a few. Made mostly of water, they respond fast—turning the forest floor into a stage for one of nature’s quickest transformations.

Look low and slow after the rain. Under leaves, at the base of logs, or beneath fallen bark, the forest’s hidden network may be showing off its latest creations.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🍄🎹 What happens when you attach sensors to a mushroom? Scientists and musicians Jon Ross and Andy Kidd of Bionic and the Wires set out to find the answer.

Using equipment that measured the bioelectrical signals a fungus naturally produces as it processes nutrients, they converted those signals into MIDI #data. The result was a mushroom playing a synthesizer through robotic arms and mallets triggering keyboard keys.

Stumbled over #mycelium recently seems to be an local aware overlay network like #yggdrasil but in written in #rust

Anyone has any experience with it? But anyway I think I'll try it out.
