Excess of growth

[Ophélie Queffurus]

Explanation is in the title...

What do you guys do with your excess of Physarum? I have some spare Physarum (since it grow pretty fast) and don't know what to do with it!

I encourage it to go into sclerotic state so I can keep it for later use. I let it grow on damp tissue and then dry it out by taking the lid of the petri dish off but still keeping it in the dark - otherwise it has a tendency to fruit. once the slime has contracted and dried, the tissue can be kept dry and reconstituted months later.
