So, I'm currently designing a 120 for my leuc trio [probably adding one or two more] and I'm planning on making a Large Log to go right across 2/3 of the viv...

Trying to make it as natural as possible, I would like to have Mushrooms on it...

First off, here's the look i'm going for[these aren't my pics]:

But here's my problem:
Since Springs eat fungi, would it be pointless trying to get a colony established?

I figured the cost of buying them would be the same as making them, so, I've also thought about making them [that way they last 'forever'].

If i were to make them, i think i'd do this method [link] and hide the power supply in the fake log...would this work? is there a rish of electrocution if i did this?

This might help if you haven't seen it yet, no electricity in this one though-

Avatar Mushrooms!

Yeah i saw that, but i figured the LED's would make it glow for as long as i want...im just worried if the moisture would get to the batteries even if it was sealed in...

i had the same curiosity about a month ago:

i never thought of UV LED's...do you think the electrical would be safe if it's hidden in the log?

i think what you should do is run a power supply into the viv, and through the log, then silicone the holes and stuff the wire runs through. that way no moisture can get to it and short it out.

i have my 4 UV LED light strips mounted with silicone to the underside of my glass canopy lid:

EDIT:

I misunderstood. I was concerned of collecting wild mushrooms and a possible ER visit,

no need to create a disaster waiting to happen if you set it up the way i have it.
