Physciella chloantha is back!

Now that I have had a better understanding of lichen supersaturation depression and spray bottles, I expect the chances of success to be much higher! Hopefully the specimens actually decide to actually grow this time.

I fail to culture slimes again

I have been kidnapping slimes (probably Fuligo septica, say the slime people) off a neighbor's lawn! It was in vain though, chunks removed from the pictured specimen largely did not move and also refused to feed.

It seems I had collected them too late in the ripening sequence to reverse the fruiting process.
