Entry 5, Day 5

Returning after the snow break, we finally go to see the results of the final challenge. Opening our fourth petri dish, we saw the results of the Physarum's journey around the obstacle of buildings. Unfortunately, however, there wasn't much visible progress between the buildings. The veins were thin and difficult to see.

As shown above, they did obviously reach their destination. A "colony" had formed over the oat flakes again and the Physarum had set up base. It had obviously found its way through the obstacles in its way and found a fast and efficient way to do so. 


Finally, with all the experiments having come to a close, we decided to dispose of the petri dishes and prevent unmanageable spreading.
