<p>I think the cyanotype chemicals won't do them any favours - I once used a tray to grow slime that had previously been used for prepping cyanotype paper and though scrubbed, still had hints of blue. It basically killed the physarum. You could grow on something transparent such as a thin film of agar on glass or a sheet of clear cellophane ( which wets quite nicely ) and do a contact print. </p>
