Slime mould growth + How to get sclerotium?

Hello! So... I recently got some slime mould (thanks Ian :) : ) ) and they have been growing like crazy! I started growing them less than a week ago and they have already filled 5 different tapware.…Continue

ian replied to Luna Maldonado Fontes's discussion Slime mould growth + How to get sclerotium?"Running out onto clean paper - the folded stuff at the top is the full contents of a 25x25cm tray
Old colony removed, tray covered for drying, I check twice daily but it's basically 2 days of this.
Day 3 - nearly dry. Looks like around 25…"
"Hi Ian! Thank you so much! Would you happen to have a picture of the setup? "
ian replied to Luna Maldonado Fontes's discussion Slime mould growth + How to get sclerotium?"Hey there - yes Mazie is a little lively! When colonies get big I end up feeding 50-100g oats a day.
My method - which is not the only way. I grow my bulk colonies on paper so you might need to adapt if you use agar. The trick is to get…"
"oh, something i forgot - something else that helps to form sclerotia is to trick it into crawling onto a surface that doesn't retain moisture - either a dry piece of paper or a nonporous surface such as saran wrap or a plastic bag. they dry up…"
"oh, thank you! I was just leaving the slime with no extra moist, will try using a fan :) "
"ian might not be online, so i can answer some of this - his strain, Mazie, is... particularly robust when it comes to growth and movement, so you're right - it is faster than usual.
and as someone who lives in a desert…"
Slime mould growth + How to get sclerotium?
Hello! So... I recently got some slime mould (thanks Ian :) : ) ) and they have been growing like crazy! I started growing them less than a week ago and they have already filled 5 different tapware. I gave some new oatmeal to them and they had already colonized the oat in less than 10 minutes. Is this normal? I thought they were supposed to be a bit slower. ALSO, how do I get scleretoium from the plasmodium? I read somewhere that I need to keep feeding them and let them dry, but how long is it…See More
"haha I think there is always time for some coding (no matter how annoying it can be sometimes to debug). How do you mean to train a GAN on it? So that it behaves like the slime mould? That would indeed be fascinating, I wonder…"

"Hi Ian! I will start off doing something like this paper:

and then see how I can improve it ;)
Usually people use Simulink to make models…"
"Hi Ian! I just joined the collective today and saw your post. I will be working with slime mould for my bachelor thesis starting in November and it would be great if I could get some from you!
I will be working on creating a computer…"
