Step-by-Step Activation Instructions

1. Prepare a Damp Environment: Place the sclerotia on a moist substrate, such as a piece of damp filter paper, paper towel, or 2% agar in a petri dish.

2. Hydrate the Sclerotia: Use a pipette to place one or two drops of distilled or spring water directly onto the sclerotia. Do not oversaturate the sample; it needs moisture, but not to be submerged.

3. Provide Food: Place a single dry oat flake (oatmeal) next to the sclerotia to provide energy once it wakes up.

4. Create Dark Conditions: Place the container in a dark, warm, and humid location. The ideal temperature is room temperature.

5. Wait for Movement: The slime Mold should awaken and begin to move onto the damp surface within 12–24 hours, seeking out the oat.

6. Initial Care: Once the plasmodium (active slime) emerges, add a few more oat flakes for food and maintain moisture by spraying the container with water if needed.
