I attempted to grow a slime mold (Physarum polycephalum) but my first try failed due to bacterial contamination. After adjusting my approach, I successfully revived and observed them under the microscope. Watch as I share my experience, including time-lapse footage of their fascinating movement!
π¬ **Tip:** Wait a few hours before adding food to avoid bacteria outcompeting the slime mold!
