Has anyone seen/made a timelapse of shelf fungus (Trametes) growth?

I got to work with this example when I took a mycology class a few years ago, and it occurred to me that watching it grow might be kind of beautiful... if the years it took were compressed to a minute or so. I've found no such timelapses, however.

No, and now that you ask, I want to make one.

I've seen a small one grow quickly around grass stems - the grass wasn't bent by the "motion", so it literally flowed around the grass as it grew!!!
