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!

Look at these dreidels I made!

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.

Did you know you can just put glasses on anything?

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 “dust cells” because their job is to munch up all the particulates you breathe in.
