"Hello Ian! Were you ever able to grow a Physarum out of spores? I'm really curious about this. I also read your great Manifesto and noticed that you consider the Physarum done as soon as it grows fruiting bodies. Thanks!"

What is your interest in slime moulds? (we need to know you're not a bot or spamster)
I'm just fascinated by these little fellas.
Really looking into keeping them and build a little vivarium with my son, to see how they behave in their "natural" environment.
