Learned about slime molds. Extracted slim molds on the agar medium in two plastic culture dishes, one fed by oats in a cube shape and another in circle shape. And I intended to find out if they can grow in the way I expected.

Checked the growing of the slime molds after one week. Out of expectation, they grew in different directions and didn't form a specific shape. On the cube dish, slime molds grew around 2 of the oats; on the circle dish, they grew around 4 of the oats with different amounts. However, something interesting is that they all grew on the walls of the dishes and seemed like trees.
