Preparation of Full-Nutrition Oat Starch

Let me share how to make full-nutrition oat starch—a type of food that generally has less residue (and is more digestible) than regular oats. 1. Prepare an appropriate amount of rolled oats (regular ones work fine, or your preferred brand; I used 20g for this demo).2. Preliminary crushing (you can use a grinder, but don’t grind it into powder just yet—crushing it into oat bits is enough).3. Repeatedly roll with a rolling pin or similar object, then perform initial sieving (60-80 mesh). Collect…See More

"You may need a large number of backup sclerotia or daywalkers. Under such circumstances, exposure to light is hard to avoid, and you may also need a humidifier, a hygrometer, and a thermometer."

What is your interest in slime moulds? (we need to know you're not a bot or spamster)
Long story. In primary school I once saw slime mold growing in the cracks of a brick sidewalk—probably Fuligo septica, I now guess. Later I bought Physarum rigidum online (from Ye Weijun, a well-known Chinese professional and vendor nicknamed “6”) and kept it alive for about a year until it died for some unknown reason. During junior-high and senior-high I often ran into these organisms in parks or forests, but I never collected any to take home. After entering high school I found a surprising diversity of slime molds on campus. Thanks to the free time I had living on campus, I collected, cultured, observed and studied them extensively. Meanwhile this account also represents a small Chinese amateur group that takes part in international exchanges among enthusiasts.
