'''''Second try - Agar medium with mushroom 10th January-17th January'''''


According to reference who fed the slime molds as pet, the slime molds live under the woodlands where is dark and damp and enjoy the mushroom. I tried to use mushroom to feed it and put it in the package to store. However there was no reaction from slime molds, even the mushroom was rotting. And the temperature was almost kept during 21℃-26℃.

'''October 25th'''


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 both grew on the walls of the dishes and seemed like trees.
