There have been all sorts of creatures and fungus appearing, a few moths, daddy long legs, spiders. The room can feel quite still but whenever I water there are things that fly up into the air, and usually the next day mushrooms appear, then disappear a few days later.
It is quite humid in the room despite having reasonable airflow, and certain areas retain moisture better than others. It certainly smells alive in the space, I have wondered how the walls at the base are doing, whether they are getting damp or not. I cannot see any signs of damp but I think there would be issues if this was left long term. People keep saying they wish it could just stay in the building, that they enjoy going to see it, and word is spreading around campus as most people I mention it to seem have heard about it. I am pleased it is making an impression.
