they might not mind the gray discoloration on the corners? I left mine to grow just in the bags we took home after I cut the molds off, and I think it was a little too moist in there..

may have baked too long? has some golden marks from the parchment paper/burnt..?

prior to baking, there is some contamination that baking made more evident

tucked my zombie hand away in the woods nearby my home so it can keep growing.. sh! i marked it and will be checking on it to see how it gets creative

I used a spice jar to create an opening in the mycelium mold. There was not much growth on the top of my mold but more has grown since I put it in a chamber.

I put the extra 1/2 cup of mycelium in a plastic container from the grocery store.  This one did not grow and remained as it is in this photograph.

When I attempted to do this with the mycelium at home I just cleaned everything well with soap and water because I didn't have any alcohol to cleanse it with. It still worked well!

I noticed that where there was less plastic wrap coverage (top right corner) of the mycelium it had trouble growing.

Take pictures of your objects and share them in new cards. Tell us about your experience and consider:

# data[].attributes.body
1) What did you learn from your mycelium partner?
2) What do you imagine your partner learned about you?
3) What did you discover as the mycelium grew in terms of moisture, light, and temperature in the environment?
5) How would you include living organisms into your art work?

Contamination is very common when working with mycelium because isolating an organism is a very artificial procedure.  If your piece gets contaminated
1) Take a picture and describe the contamination color, texture, and smell.
2) How the relationship between mycelium and this new organism evolves over time?
3) How we can make sense of contamination? Aren't we all living beings contaminated, never pure, always interconnected with other organisms?
