If you are reading this blog you have probably noticed that my username is slime mold master. you may be wondering what a slime mold is and why I call myself a "slime mold master." a slime mold is a type of creature that can live as one cell but combines in to multiple to reproduce. the slime mold that I know most about is called the physarum polycephalum or "many headed slime" I got a couple of samples of physarum polycephalum as a Christmas gift a while ago (it is just awesome that my parents are willing to get me samples of physarum polycephalum) after a few failed attempts I stopped trying to grow the samples and left them. because physarum polycephalum can hibernate for many years I recently reawoke the physarum polycephalum samples that I got a few years ago.
I chose slime mold master as my username because I am the only person I know, outside of my family, who knows about slime molds. and it sounded like a cool name.
