Amazing! Just found some (I think) growing under our hot tub and hoping it will become our Bio class pet. Thanks!

That's awesome! They are so fun to experiment with and watch! Good luck with your slime

Very interesting, all mycological inspiration is always appreciated. Very professional 👍😊.

Thank you, and keep up the good work. Mush love 😋

This is so cool the maze thing always astounds me. Like we can just have little fungus pets if we want and I love that

Thank you it was very interesting.

hmmm ....very interesting. 💚

So....I have been growing P. polycephalum for a while and continuing the culture. However, when I try drying it either on oats, paper, agar or card....NOTHING seems to come back to life. I have dried it multiple ways and tried several methods. Any idea what on Earth I am doing wrong?

8:07 as a Rick and Morty fan, I absolutely lost it when you said shleem. Is that actually a real word? I tried googling it but only Rick and Morty comes up 😂

Everyone has a plumbus in their home.

I don't know when or why I subscribed to your channel, apparently I once watched your video before this about the AC, but I do not remember doing so at all. That aside, I'm glad I did, looking at your other videos I will surely watch all of them and enjoy every one. Thanks for the neat video! I have some oyster culture in a shoe box on agar, though I moved away for some time, so I wonder how it will be doing when I finally get back to it, it must be about one year since looking at it.

So... What temp do they grow the best? Would an atmosphere with enriched O2 make them more or less active? Where can i get the bright orange slime?

Do you have to change the petridish

I have a terrarium and slime mold grew in there by itself

if you drill a 5/32" (4mm) hole in your lid the syringe filter fits perfectly & will not pop out. you will need to give it a good push to fit it in the hole & drill a clean hole.

Does plastic expand and contract in the pressure cooker though? I thought I read that even if one drills the perfect holes in one's lids, it is still advisable to set syringe filters and rubber Self-Healing Injection Ports with RTV silicone to ensure no external air gets pulled in around the hole, rather than through the filter. I could be wrong. I drilled many perfect holes in my lids and the SHIPs were incredibly snug, but I figured if they will contract too much when PCed, then I've defeated the purpose of making the lids in the first place... so I just went ahead and RTVed them all in.

Do you have to reply parafilm or can you use the same strip?

I reapply new parafilm, used parafilm doesn't stick well and tends to tear. But a roll of parafilm is fairly cheap and will last a very long time

The listing on Etsy is unavailiable now. Where should i buy it from now?

How do you sterilize oats?

You can pressure cook them in a mason jar with a tyvek filter glued into the lid with hi temp silicone.

Dont they consume bacteria growing on the oats more than the actual oats?

No they eat the oats themselves, after they finish with one, there is usually just a tiny remnant. They are generalists though, so they'll eat most bacteria as well. Myxos especially enjoy eating fungi too.

Can they be dangerous to humans?

No, slime molds are not dangerous or pathogenic to humans

Well, but if I don't want to buy the kit?, and grow a wild mold I found? Then this video won't be very useful..

The same principles apply. You would just start with a chunk of wood with a wild plasmodium on it
