Your slime mold cultures will be shipped as a sclerotium where it can survive many years and be easily reactivated with water + food. After a few hours of being introduced to moisture your physarum will rehydrate and slowly revert back to in plasmodial state where it can fed and replicate across your media. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo feed your slime mold all you need is a container of unflavored, unsalted, preferably organic oats. Place your sclerotium on a sterile paper, add a drop of water, and wait a few hours for your slime mold to rehydrate. Once rehydrated add 1-2 sterile oats close to slime and it will start heading over soon. Ensure your slime mold remains moisturized or it may sporulate and form another sclerotium. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eWe keep our slime molds in a consistent\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e72°F\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e80°F\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e22°C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e26°C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eYour physarum should always remain moist as should its media. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eKeep your slime mold in a dimly lit area of the room too much light can stress your physarum out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003eLive Guarantee \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ePhysarum polycephalum sclerotium is the inactive or \"hibernating\" state Physarum.
