Bringing slime mould to life.

[Martha Gray]

Does anyone have ay advice on how to bring dried slime mould to life? Thanks!

Coffee filter, water, oatflake

even better: 2% agar

place ca. 0.5 cm from the dried slime mold the oat flake. Make everything wet, but not too wet, and don't let it dry. within a day the slime mold should have come back to live and moved to the oat. 

Or you have a petri dish with agar, you place the oat flake half a centimeter away from the dried slime mold, put the lid on the petri dish... 

did this help? 

and - never use all the dried slime mold - keep a back up :D
