After witnessing this process I started isolating them and put most of them in a cardboard box. Then the same happened. After that I tried to feed them with leaves that fell off one of my plants after moving to Weimar. First, it was curious to see what it was but immediately stepped back from it. After that I fed it again with oats, but unfortunately they all got contaminated and either formed spores or mold. | After witnessing this process I started isolating them and put most of them in a cardboard box.

Another experiment was to see how the physarum conducts electricity. There were two problems I have been facing. One was that the voltage it conducted was in a range of millivolts. Second, the agar medium was also a good conductor, so my measurements were not very precise at that stage. Therefore, I transferred the to the cardboard to do experiments, but eventually they all „died“. | Another experiment was to see how the physarum conducts electricity.
