Warty Cavalier (Melanoleuca verrucipes): Usually found in the late summer and autumn, this mushroom was first recorded in the UK only in 2000*, and is mostly found in the south of England. Well, this one appeared in my garden in the Central Belt of Scotland last Friday (11 April)! It popped out in an old abandoned flower pot. ... #Mushrooms, #Fungi, #Nature, #Microscopy: aye.tf/2025/04/14/melanoleuca-

I spent the day rectifying segmentation and tracking for bacteria in microfluidic devices. 1000 frames, 5 chambers, ~8 cells per chamber, so 40000 pictures of cells to look at, and check that they match frame to frame. I think I'm done with screens for the day. Fortunately automation helps, and drawing the lineages as graphs allows to spot errors more easily.
Now I have a clean dataset that I can analyse and also use as a training dataset for the next iteration!

I'm what you call a novice microscopist I would say, not beginner or amateur. I'm guessing at what that transparent looking strand with spotted inclusions within it's core, might be found in household dust. Fungal growth?. I have seen threads like this before with trumpet-like joins along it's length, but never saw one quite like this.
Object diameter 1.5um.

Can anyone shed light on the object?

Wonderful discovery for #protists #independentresearch #microscopy #microbiology folks. Check out a new zine called "Amoeba Discovery":

I never thought very much about protists/amoebas, and reading this volume was a fascinating introduction to what seems to be an understudied field.

Now I'm wondering how I might isolate and sequence some interesting samples!

Last microscopy post for now; here are a pair of cystidia, and what I believe to be a clamp connection! I'm pretty excited about the clamp connection as I haven't managed to spot one on my scope before.

I believe the cystidium floating freely is a cheilocystidium that has become detached from the gill edge, while the other one may be a pluerocystidium that just happens to be near the gill edge.

microscope photo of a pair of cystidia at the edge of a chunk of gill; one has been detached and is floating freely, and has a round, bulbous shape with a narrow end near the gill; the other remains attached and is partially obscured by the gill; the attached one is thickest at the gill edge and tapers more smoothly to a rounded tip, and while the attachment point cannot be seen, I believe it is attached to the opposite face of the gill optical magnification is ~422x

another photo of the same two cystidia, but at a higher magnification; not much more detail can be seen, but the shapes are somewhat clearer optical magnification is ~912x
ALT
another photo of the same two cystidia, but slightly darker due to closing of the diaphragm aperature; it's hard to say whether it's real or just an optical effect, but you can barely see what appears to be the thickness of the wall for each cystidium optical magnification is ~912x

microscope photo depicting a single hypha sticking out from a chunk of the broken-up gill; two distinct cells can be seen, and at the point where they meet there is what appears to be a clamp connection, which consists of a wall (septum) separating the cells and a small protrusion that goes around the septum before being sealed off by a septum of its own optical magnification is ~912x
