The soap on the bottom is less dense than the soap on the top and so wants to rise. As it rises through the denser new soap, it forms [Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh%E2%80%93Taylor_instability).

This is the same principle behind mushroom clouds created by large explosions, only smaller and less energetic.

That looks dreamy. Keep it that way.

Looks like jellyfish at first glance!

Mushroom!

Mushroom!

Reminds me of that mid-2000s [mushroom wallpaper by Digital Blasphemy](https://digitalblasphemy.com/sec/fluorescence6/).

I would love something like this for my actual bathroom, like those soap bottles with the fish in them.

You sure it,s fungi and not something else 👀

not mushroom for error here, those look like some pretty fungi’s to wash my hands with

Alright, who came in the soap again.

You can also recreate this look by shooting a load into your soap dispenser and then quickly refilling it with soap to retain the shape.

CRAZY

That’s weird

How does this happen? I know mushrooms will grow just about anywhere but is the mushroom shape something that just appears for some reason or was this a glitch in the matrix? or maybe OP just created a new species of mushroom?

not any fungi, shrooms!

It’s gonna get watery now.

This is more than r/mildlyinteresting

You guys say mushroom, I say jellyfish

r/Shrooms
