Entry 4, Day 4

Seeing as our culture was completely overgrown and our second experiment had created black mold and impaired any further progress, the only experiment we had to check the progress of was the most recent one. 

The progress through the maze was difficult to see, but there was a thin vein the weaved its way through the maze and had set up a second "home" right on top of the oat flakes. Obviously, the Physarum had reached its goal. It had also cheated the labyrinth and ducked under a wall and created a shortcut to the destination. 

Moving on, we folded, cut up and placed several "paper buildings" that created the buildings on the PSU campus. Placing the Physarum where the 4th avenue building would be in our experiment and the oat flakes at the FRINQ classroom, we sealed up our last petri dish and patiently waited for the results.
