Nice, indeed.
As usual in programming, to get this effect, you have to use blood, sweat and tears... and to burn some brain cells too.

A possible way is to use Brownian motion, in a controlled (not totally random) way, with lot of agents spawning in various directions. Also using semi-transparent pixels to ensure smoother result.

here are some more images and videos http://onecm.com/projects/mycelium/
but yes, phiLho is right, i would say its mostly brownian motion, but as far as i remember, he is "feeding" them the pixelbrightness of an underlaying image, so more growing in lighter parts etc...
