Why is ground better than whole?
Because the flakes are ground, the slime mold can extract significantly more nutrients from them and fights mold more easily. Both of these things result directly from the volume to surface area ratio. This food works perfectly when You use pure microbiological agar poured onto Petri dishes.
Why are they not ground into smooth flour?
The flakes are NOT ground into flour or dust - this would have the opposite effect, creating a flat, perfectly even and compact layer, to which the slime mold would only have access from above. The fraction retains natural porosity and microcracks, which provides so-called 3D access. Thanks to this, Your organism does not suffocate under its own food.
Most common mistakes when feeding a slime mold and how to avoid them
- Too thick layer: Always sprinkle the food extremely sparingly so that the slime mold can quickly surround and digest it.
- Flooding with water: Avoid pouring water directly on the food, because excess moisture on the food is the shortest path to a fungal invasion.
- Leaving leftovers: Keep Your culture clean and remove all bypassed food within several hours.
