<p>Thanks! For some reason, it doesn't look like it is quite dead yet so we shall see...</p>
<p></p>
<p>I might consider hatching the spores but that can wait.</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>Your cultures is doomed - unless some part of it is still yellow and crawling it's well dead. As Evan's said the spores are dormant - takes around 3 weeks of being dry for them to activate. It's light exposure - once a plasmodium is more than a few days old exposure to light triggers sporulation. </p>
<p>Fridge is a good plan for storing.</p>
<p>Check later and I'll have guide to getting from spores to plasmodium - got a pressing bit of lab work to do first </p>

<p>Let them dry out, they'll be dormant for a few weeks, but then you can hatch them if you like. Refrigerating them may be a good idea, so long as you keep them cool and dry they could last quite a while, years perhaps.</p>

<p>I believe it's done with its life cycle.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Keep them in the dark with plenty of food and moisture.</p>
