Here’s a few of the cool Amanita mushrooms I’ve found recently. Some are tasty, some will ruin your day, and some will straight up kill ya!

Some sparkly small transparent handmade resin dreidels in different colors, gleaming in the sun. They look kinda like marbles.

Reminder! Don’t forage for amanitas until you’re intimately familiar with your local death caps and destroying angels. This is not a mushroom for beginners because the deadliest mushrooms in the world are its lookalikes.

Hand holding a mushroom about 20cm or 8 inches long, with a bulbous base and a round red cap with white flecks all over it, against a background of pine and redwood duff.

Amanita calyptroderma (Coccora) carpaccio. It’s good! Not as good as Amanita velosa.

You know what is? Amanita muscaria, boiled vigorously twice for ten minutes w/2 water changes before pan frying. Probably my new favorite edible. Do it wrong & you’ll be um, badly intoxicated & not in a fun way.

Circular microscope view showing a larger pinkish purple cell with a dark purple nucleus. A needle pointer in silhouette points at it. There are three smaller pinkish purple cells to the lower right of the large cell with multi-lobed nuclei. There are other smeared cells and pink/purple stuff in the background.

New here, not sure what I’ll be doing but I guess I’ll start with my amateur microscopy photos. This is an alveolar macrophage and some neutrophils from a human sputum sample. Alveolar macrophages are also called β€œdust cells” because their job is to munch up all the particulates you breathe in.
