Hi everyone,

I think to promote tubular growth, I will have a medium with low nutrient content in a petri dish scattered with porridge oats or something like that (any recommendations for this medium?). However what kind of medium could be evenly distributed across a dish that would promote the alternative fan like growth of the slime mould? Could it just…

Can anyone tell me any other places where they could be hiding?
Thanks

I have a workshop this Thursday and my order of live culture has gone missing in the mail. Help!
Does anyone have any live culture they could spare in London to collect tonight or tomorrow?
Let me know if you can help..
Many thanks,
Heather

Getting involved with several schools in my area running STEM club activities - I'm trying to design a six week course on our dear sticky friend that'll be adaptable to ages 12-17. Looks like it'll be fun ( and a lot of work ). My own cultures have been dormant for a while aside from raising the odd batch but I should start playing again soon.
