Is that a growing mushroom? Think I see mycelium? But never seen mushrooms grown in liquid? Tell me more please

Heh. no. It's my dirty isopropyl alcohol with suspended 3d resin in it solidifying in the sunlight. The resin is UV reactive so it hardens in sunlight or UV light, and will fall out of suspension in the alcohol. Then I can decant the IPA, recycle it, and fully cure and safely dispose of the resin.

It looked super cool though

Like a bomber. There's a canoe-shaped pod slung under the belly that holds 9800 gallons of retardant (on the DC-10), and when they get on station they can dispense it in a single run or multiples.

Cool news piece on it from last year.
