Would you call this smart or wrong? 👀👇

🚨 A law student at the University of Málaga was caught cheating with 11 BIC pens etched with the entire criminal law syllabus.
Professors said it was one of the most elaborate methods they’d ever seen! 😳

Lito Leaf, is a leaf-cutting artist, born in 1986 in Kanagawa, Japan. To make positive use of his attention deficit and hyperactivity due to ADHD, he started creating works by himself in 2020: in just 2 years his carved leaves, published on social media have aroused great curiosity and attention. They have been featured on TV programs, newspapers and magazines in Japan, and surprisingly also taken up by online media in the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Iran, Thailand, India, Taiwan and many other countries. He has held exhibitions of his works all over Japan with great commercial success. The first book of his works “I’ll Always Be with You” was published in May 2021 and received great feedback😍

These mushrooms are called ‘Dead Man’s Fingers’🧟

Xylaria polymorpha, commonly called “Dead Man’s Fingers,” produces mushrooms that look somewhat like charred fingers clawing their way out of the ground.

X. polymorpha is unusual among mushrooms because it develops slowly over the course of a few months. When the mushrooms first appear, they are light bluish to purplish to grayish with white tips and are short and round and usually grow in clusters. During this stage, X. polymorpha produces asexual spores, which accumulate as a whitish film over the mushroom. Because of this white film, this phase is called the “candlesnuff” phase.
The mushrooms soon darken, becoming brownish to blackish with a white tip and finally entirely black. When fully mature, Dead Man’s Fingers appear more or less like a rounded cylinder or sausage and grow 3.5-10cm tall and 1-2.5cm or even 4cm thick. They generally stand straight up, though often become bent or irregularly warped. Their exterior is black wrinkled and bumpy and becomes cracked with age. The individual mushrooms often grow close together and may become fused at the bottom, forming a “hand” with several “fingers.” The cluster usually has a substantial rooting base that makes it difficult to remove the mushroom from its substrate.

X. polymorpha isn’t considered edible—it’s hard and its texture is wood-like, Volk says. So if you’re out hunting mushrooms, it’s best to just wave to these fingers and pass on by😁
