How to wear & wash it

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.
