It was very interesting, Mycelium and slime molds are not as little as the other organisms. You don´t have to look through a microscope to see them. We could nearly touch them and smell them, imagine their consitence. You don´t need to have programming skills to do  art-work with them.
Azuzena showed us, what other people had already done. What stuck in my mind, was that you can heat mycelium and it will keep it´s form. For example in bricks or leather.
Under the instructions of Azuzena i inoculated my first medium with spores. It was 15 minutes boiled cardboard. The container we used to store it, was ironically a blue supermarket Champignon box. After the Inoculation, wich in this case only means, to put a peace of wood with spores in it, between two or three sheets of hot cardboard. And then leave it in the oven, that is not called oven.

Well, this is my Biolab diary now.

1. Day in the Lab, I heard the introduction and had to leave earlier because of the Fachschaft plenum. So i didn´t learn how to cook the first medium, the one for bacteria.

2. Day. Take pictures of everything you do, said Miga. But my phone cam was broken. Instead i took this picture with my analogue „exacta135“ (1). That day we cooked medium for euglena and amoeba, but i´d got a very bad cold, my nose was running away and i was afraid of contaminating everything just by breathing. I went earlier because i was so tired, eventhough the other members of the fachschaft said that i can come later. Because uni goes first.
