+'''10/01/2018---Update on experiment 4: comparing mushroom and oat flakes as food, agar and filter paper as medium'''
+after research on the growth of slime molds in lab, Sinan and i decided to try different food and medium.
+[[File:10.4.jpg|400px]]
+it was suggested to use humid filter paper or wood chips as the living environment of slime molds. However it is not easy to get fresh and clean wood chips. but filter paper is quite easy to acquire in our lab. And slime molds in nature often take mushrooms as their main food. In this case we would like to see if there would be any changes after we use different medium and food.
+To provide enough space for mushroom and slime molds, i had 2 large petri dishes. I also prepared 2 normal sized petri dishes to make a comparison.
+A-medium: agar, food: oat flakes;

+B-medium: humid filter paper, food: oat flakes;

+C-medium: agar, food: mushroom slices;

+D-medium: filter paper, food: mushroom slices.

+All the samples were taken home and kept in dark environment, under 24 degrees. The samples with filter papers were filled with drops of water every day to keep them humid.
