Timelapses

Planet Fungi has a catalogue of over 500 time-lapses of mushrooms, mycelium and slime mould growing, as well as tracks of mushrooms in the forest.

They have been collected over a decade by Australian fungi photographer Stephen Axford and documentary maker Catherine Marciniak, and feature species found in many parts of the world.

We specialise in high quality forest fungi time-lapses and license these for cinema and television productions, exhibitions and events.

In their raw form clips are 5K-8K. These are HD Preview clips only.

Time-lapses are available for licensing (exclusive and non-exclusive). The license fee per clip for TV is $300, $600, $1500, $2500 per clip depending on quality.

Rates on request for theatrical screenings, exhibitions, educational and research projects. Discounts for bulk orders.
