A fictional research station for glowing fungi. The page is a dark forest floor, the cursor is a lantern, and the catalog reads like field notes.

The understory, spores drifting, mushrooms glowing toward the lantern.

Stack

A single HTML page with a guide route. Three.js GPU particle field and additive-glow shader mushrooms with a CSS fallback. A literary serif for specimen names, monospace for catalog data.

Highlights

  • A near-black WebGL understory where spores drift and mushrooms glow brighter near the pointer.
  • A specimen catalog of invented species as monospace index cards with binomials, glow wavelengths, and lux readings.
  • Built from a one-page brief, then judged three passes deep from its own rendered screenshots.
