Hello everyone!! I'm Matteo and i'm a master student of biology at the University of Bologna(Italy). One of my hobbies is rearing every living stuff, and now i'm looking for Physarum polycephalum. Anyone knows where i can obtain in in Europe?

Hi Matteo,

Most people in the UK get it from Blades Biological, who get the live plasmodium of physarum from Carolina suppliers in the States. You can buy a kit which gives you (and some friends!) everything you need to get started.

There may be somewhere in Italy, but I don't know of it. Hope this helps...
