fun! i wonder if different kinds of dye can color them, for instance some kind of synthetic dye rather than the natural beetroot you tried. my guess is that the slime mold digested the beetroot, but i'm not a mycologist or even biologist. how long were the timelapses you took for this video? is there any perceptible motion to the naked eye if you look very closely? thanks for sharing! i'm considering growing one too one day now
Ez way have a pet mold n no need spent money: 1) box and wood chopsticks. 2) cut the chopsticks and put in the box (make sure it is glued) 3) add water to the chopsticks (in some day the mold will grow) Enjoy!
Very cool!! I have a wee slime mold in a terrarium that came in on a stick. I should try feeding it ^_^
I checked out your vids and they’re very cool. I want to do some terrariums/ecospheres this summer. Thanks for watching!
Amazing video quality!
I really appreciate that. I hope you enjoy future vids as well!
Looking forward to it@@nicksbigpumpkin8050
Those shapes are called fractals! Fractals are the shape of our veins, tree roots, mountains, rivers and many things in nature! Beautiful!
It sure is. Thank you for watching!
@@nicksbigpumpkin8050 thank you for making these beautiful videos ❤️
No, they aren't...
@@dustinshuh972 yes they are do research
@@CREATUREwithEnergy I have a PhD in mathematical theory...They are actually froctal treybexa. You do your research...
That is great. Thanks for sharing.
Mycology is an often under-taught part of early scince education. These kits would be great in a classroom.
I agree! Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
Really cool. What kind of setup are you using for your time lapses?
I used a Sandmarc Macro lens with an Iphone 14. Made a mini lightbox out of a paper box and just filmed overnight. Thank you for watching!
Very cool vid!! Tell me what type of lighting did you use to record? Slime molds have Phototaxis
I used a regular led bulb. Didnt seem to cause any issues. Thank you for watching!
pet name?
P-Nut

Yeah I think you’re right. Something to try in the future for sure. Thank you for watching!
They're gross in an extremely beautiful way. They look almost like neurons, like life flash-growing, when they move around. Awesome!!
Gift for that special scientist in your life… or, a good gag gift.
Nick’s Big Slime
I heard slime is the next big thing so I’m pivoting.

Why the color of agar is black?
@@killifishHite you can add a little bit of charcoal powder to turn it black
@@nicksbigpumpkin8050 Thanks!
