Chocolate tube slime moulds , Stemonitis sp., on rotting wood in Queensland, Australia #slimemold #stemonitis #slimemould #myxomycetes
An image of the colloquially named chocolate tube slime mold on rotting wood. The genus name is Stemonitis. It looks like brown bristles coming out of the wood. They are attached via delicate black strands to the wood. The back of the image shows a later stage of development, where the fruiting bodies have started to decompose. They are covered in white.

Beautiful book I found at the Daniel Solander Library.
A person is holding an old, red book called "British Ferns". The image is taken from the photographer's perspective. It has golden ferns on the cover and a circle in the middle with a coloured botanic illustration of a fern.

With all the news about the little aid getting into Gaza, I didn't know where to donate. The Guardian has been sharing photos of a few different charities working on the ground in the past days, so I wanted to share:
- Red Cross
- Palestine Red Crescent Society
- Humanitarian Relief Foundation
