This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me.
From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador.

I had a lunch conversation with my fellow Fellows that started with Bad Bunny, moved through Gramsci and Stuart Hall, and ended with climate despair and translating Motown lyrics in 1970s Cuba.
Honestly, I cannot imagine a better way to spend an hour of every day I have left on earth.

🧵The “about CDC” webpage got a makeover with a long list of CDC “priorities” added. It's worth a read esp if you receive any grant funding from CDC.
