The Physarum on the clothes is completely dry. The Physarum will be revived when water is added - so be careful in the rain!

If you want to wash the piece you have to add some water droplets on the Physarum and gently scrape it of with a spoon or something similiar. The Physarum should then be placed into a coffee filter to store it. It can be revived for the next shirt. The piece without the Physarum can be washed.

It is fast and cheap to grow and will not pollute or harm nature. After ist use for fashion and clothes it will simply become a part of nature again.

To create Physarum clothing pieces, the Physarum has to be grwon on plastic foil. The foil is then pressed on the fabric by placing weight on the Physarum/the foil. After a week the Physarum is dried and the clothing is ready to wear.
