How to most efficiently move slime mold from container to a piece of paper

I want to move my slime mold from my container onto a piece of paper on which my experiment will take place.

Questions regarding the cultivation of Physarum aswell as it’s plasmodium state

I just received the Physarum Polycephalum I’m planning on using for a school project and have some questions I’d greatly appreciate answers for.1. The sources I’ve seen have varied in their emphasis on watering the blob. How much water should one apply to get optimal growth?2. When it comes to ventilating it how often should I do it? And for how long at each occasion?3. How do I (once the blob has grown to sufficient strength) in the most efficient manor cause the blob to “venture out” for new…See More
