Cerebro Mycelium

Cerebro Mycelium is an Obsidian community plugin that renders your vault as a 2D living fungal network. Markdown notes become soft kind-clusters, wikilinks become curved hyphae, recently edited notes glow as fruiting bodies, and clicking a node sends a light cascade through its nearby graph.

The animated preview below uses synthetic demo vault data.

Features

  • Native Obsidian custom view, no separate app required.
  • Read-only vault adapter built from metadataCache and vault.getMarkdownFiles().
  • Kind classification from frontmatter, tags, folders, and date-style daily notes.
  • Curved multi-fibre hyphae for wikilinks.
  • Recent-note fruiting halos driven by file.stat.mtime.
  • Hover blooms, click cascades, shockwaves, drag pan, and scroll zoom.
  • Drag notes to pin them into persistent positions, with a reset command when you want to return to automatic layout.
  • Settings for palette, recency window, spore density, cluster haze, decorative micro-leaves, and click behavior.

The plugin does not make network requests and does not modify notes. It enumerates markdown files so it can build the vault graph locally.
