Ricós<p>The bottom one doesn't look so hot, I think I overdid it with the oats and some local is overcompeting it, looks fuzzy around the edges.</p><p>So:<br>- don't pile more food than it can chew<br>- use air filters (I'll try parafilm) and sterilize your tools better</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/physarum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physarum</span></a></p>
Ricós<p>The blobs keep growing as I add more oats.</p><p>It's so unusual seeing a single cell get this big. And look at the pattern on the center.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Physarum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Physarum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/slimeMold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slimeMold</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/bioart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioart</span></a></p>
Ricós<p>Step 3 - It's Alive!</p><p>Slime mold woke up and moved out of its paper and onto the oat. It's nomming and growing now.</p><p>The two original sclerotia didn't activate, so I used 4 samples more with slightly different conditions. 2 of them are doing great, the others not so much.</p><p>I didn't properly measure or jot any data down, so this isn't Science, but now I have a general idea of how this works and I can go for precision next time.</p><p>8 year olds are better at this than me.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Physarum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Physarum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/bioart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioart</span></a></p>
Ricós<p>Step 2</p><p>The Physarum (I'm going to need 2 nicknames, feel free to contribute) was dormant on dry paper in its sclerotium form. I cut two pieces and added two drops of water to resurrect them. And some oats for breakfast.</p><p>Now we wait. Good luck, Phil and Phyllis.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Physarum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Physarum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/bioart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/SlimeMold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SlimeMold</span></a></p>
Ricós<p>Step 1</p><p>Preparing a couple of Agar petris for an art excercise. I'll be trying to grow Physarum polycephalum.</p><p>Considering this is my first attempt to kinda bioart, this could go from very wrong to somewhat not terrible.
