| The Physarum has to be grown on plastic foil, this works best, when the Physarum spills over from agar to plastic foil in its growing stage. | | The Physarum has to be grown on plastic foil, this works best, when the Physarum spills over from agar to plastic foil in its growing stage. |

| How to wear & wash it
| | '''Future experiments''' |
| | |
| 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.

| Fast fashion is one of the biggest climate killers in terms of water pollution, garbage production and c02 output. The fashion industry needs to focus on regrowing ecological media that does not harm the environment. Physarum can be the suitable medium for this problem. 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.

| Technical solution - how to produce Physarum clothes
| |
| | |
| To create Physarum clothing pieces, the Physarum has to be grown 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.

| - pure fabric
| |
| | |
| - fabric treated with agar beforehand
| |
| | |
| --> both fabric samples were placed on agar and then overgrown with Physarum
| |
| | |
| - samples of Physarum placed on the fabric (can it be revived or is the Physarum sample too weak?)
| |
| | |
| - fabric placed on Physarum and then overgrown with Physarum (the best reult so far)
| |
|
| |
|
| In the end, i decided to grow the Physarum on plastic foil which is then placed on the fabric instead of letting the Physarum grow directly on the fabric. After a week the Physarum is dry and the clothing is ready to be worn.
| | might include: reviving the Physarum when it is dormant on the clothes |
| | --> how will it grow when it is worn for a night out? |
