Mycelium Growth with NetLogo Web
Underneath our feet, spreading across the globe, a magnificent being resides. As a living network, it breaks down compounds from minerals and dead plants and animals in the soil (and pollutants as well), only to distribute these nutrients to other living organisms. Therefore, providing the cyclical nature characteristic of Nature. When conditions are right, some of these organisms will fruit into beautiful mushrooms, some of which are incredibly nutritious and with miraculous medicinal properties. The organism described is the Mycelium, or the vegetative part of a fungus organism. In this project we will create an agent based model that simulates possible mechanisms through which fungi mycelium grows, as observed through microscopic lenses. For that we will be working with NetLogo Web, a very powerful online modeling environment. Learns will be introduced to this environment, as well as the basics of the Logo programming language. Note: This project works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Reviewed Jan 18, 2021The course consists of a rather complicated project plus interesting botanical concepts. it is a project not a tutorial so the student must spend some time to understand the project. Fortunately, i completed a previous Coursera project on NetLogo but the this course uses the Web version so some things had to be relearned. I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars because my slowness caused an overrun of the Rhyme allotted time and I finished using 2 computers: one to read the project and another to do my portion. I recommend the project but it was not easy. But then, it looks like NetLogo isn't easy.

Reviewed Mar 4, 2023I expected more coatent to study, although it was very practical and I learned a little bit about mycelium and NetLogo Web. I think it is a good introductory course.

Reviewed Mar 16, 2024good course but not very good. when you are going to teach people about anything you need to start with introduction, applications, where we can find it, harmful or not especially when you are talking about the scientific field.

Reviewed May 13, 2026There is no Systematic structure. The course just gets looped. Disappointed because I could hardly get to the lessons.
