We cultivate and supply Physarum polycephalum a slime mould used in biological research and science education. Shipped as dried sclerotium, ready to reactivate.
Physarum polycephalum is a single-celled organism widely used in biological research. Despite having no nervous system, it can solve mazes, find efficient routes through networks, and respond to its environment in surprisingly complex ways.
We supply it as a dried sclerotium on filter paper the organism's dormant form. It survives at room temperature for months and reactivates within hours when introduced to moisture and food.
Suitable for classroom demonstrations, university research, science fairs, and independent study.
We maintain living cultures of Physarum polycephalum and supply them as dried sclerotium to researchers, students, and educators worldwide.
Slime moulds are one of the most compelling organisms for hands-on science education. We work to make them accessible to schools and universities that would otherwise have no reliable source.
We are expanding our catalogue. If you have a specific organism or culture in mind, get in touch we are happy to discuss what is possible.
