In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see. | In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum.

As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs. | |||
