Throwback Saturday

Today's task is to look for a snap with a #background theme. This pic from 2018 of a newly emergent shroom is as much about the #bokeh. It was shot with a a Konishiroku 47mm f1.9 taken from a fixed lens #Konica rangefinder and helicoid mounted on Sony A7ii.

A couple of things I learned from this article on the invasive golden oyster mushroom:

* Closely related species are carnivorous. Their mycelia have structures that trap nematodes for consumption
* There is an orange ping pong bat fungus, depicted below.

#Science question. I got Husband a #UV flashlight for his birthday, & we were playing with it last night. One of our discoveries was little random dots of bright orange on our hands.

The web says these could be #fungus or it could be bacterial waste, but the info is pretty scarce. Might any of you #biology peeps have more info? Thanks! #bacteria #skin #microbiome
