 For what concerns my slime molds I created a new environment with water and agar in a new petri dish, attached to the original one, in order to let my slim mold move to the new environment, creating a bridge. I informed myself about how to cultivate a slime mold creating an ultimate environment for her, and one of the main rules consists in keep the environment clean in order to prevent mold.
 In doing so I had to keep the petri dishes open, inside of the shoe box, but after some days I found out a little moldy dark spot growing in the agar. I removed it and give my slime molds to Sisu because tomorrow I will leave Weimar coming back home for Christmas Holidays.

+''SLIME MOLD 1''
+I set the new environment to let her create a bridge, but it was growing super fast in the opposite direction. (Maybe it felt the new petri dish like a dirty one and not appealing anymore)

+I set the new environment to let her create a bridge, but after one day open I decided to close the petri dish and put one oat flake in the other new dish, closed. Hence, I dropped the idea of the bridge for this slime mold and I didn't feed it for one whole day: the slime mold was escaping looking for food, you can see it from the growth on the walls of the petri dish.
