Is this the cutest fungus ever!? πŸ˜²πŸ„πŸ’™
​
This mini mushroom was found in Taiwan and is believed to be Mycena subcyanocephala, often called the blue-headed bonnet. The species is characterized by its teeny tiny height of around 1-3 cm, and its blue to blue-gray cap (typically only 0.5–1.5 cm in diameter).

M. subcyanocephala thrives in temperate climates and usually colonizes decaying wood or leaf litter.

Chemistry can be cute and fluffy too πŸ₯Ή

Chemist, Pichayut Tananchayakul, researches thiophene-based materials for organic electronic devices, like photovoltaic cells.

Whilst he was finishing purifying a precursor to one of his target molecules, amazingly the material started crystallizing into this round cluster!

Brain or coral?🧠🌊

Diploria labyrinthiformis is commonly known as grooved brain coral. This species of reef-building coral has a hemispherical, brain-like shape and interconnected double valleys.

Diploria’s valleys are long and narrow, with a groove along each wide wall, usually as wide and deep as the valley. There can be color differences between the valleys and grooves.
