"Just growing for now, was thinking maybe the slime got rid of some contaminate in the jar allowing the mush to thrive.
panellus stipticus takes forever to grow though so we wont probably see the slime glowing for a week or two

I have a jar of panellus stipticus that halted growing all of a sudden, which usually happens when a jar is contaminated.I had nothing to lose so i chucked a slime in there and a week later the jar…Continue

I'm wanting to just maybe make an internet master list of what foods you've found these plasmodiums to like, and what they didn't like so muchI'm doing this in part with maybe some experimenting to…Continue

"Growing or glowing? ;) My last Pan stip failed. It's a dream of mine to one day take the luminescence pathway out of Panellus and shove it into a slime mould :)"

I have a jar of panellus stipticus that halted growing all of a sudden, which usually happens when a jar is contaminated.I had nothing to lose so i chucked a slime in there and a week later the jar is growing again, and the slime is stringy all throughout ~half the jar (still looking alive) so I'm guessing somehow it jump started the jar to grow again.gonna be doing this a couple more times just wanted to make a postSee More
"Very true about the rotting wood being optimal, it made me think of another thought.
In mycology its pretty known that if you forage a wild, say, oyster mushroom, plate it and grow it out yourself, 9/10 times it is insanely aggressive. …"

I'm wanting to just maybe make an internet master list of what foods you've found these plasmodiums to like, and what they didn't like so muchI'm doing this in part with maybe some experimenting to find food sources that really ramp them up speed wise and getting an early list of what works/doesn't work can save me some timeSo far I've only done the old-fashioned old fashioned oats and also tried whole oats which they didn't care for so much but they weren't fully cookedSee More
"Nice easy steps you laid out :) thanks!
also in your link, you put a (,) instead of a (.) so the link is broken. it had me confused for a second"
"Wow!"
"You'd send me some? That'd be so greatly appreciated. I'm in the US if that matters for if you can or not. I will DM you with some of my info and I'll pay whatever the price and shipping you say is"
"The egg is made up in agar in the literature, I've also mixed it in with oats.
I can send you slime...."
"Nice thanks for the answers! It makes sense that they'd just make a large circle if everything around them is just food! By 10% powdered egg, what's the other 90%? Or is 10% like just how you buy it I've never heard…"
