The bit about the mushrooms is pretty cool, but keep scrolling, it just gets so much better.

I’ve started my new job and have so far been on a 2-day new tutor course, spent half a day at the centre, been on a 4-day first aid course (mud, rain, incident management scenarios outside in the bushes), been out for my head of centre’s birthday and spent my first full day at the centre – with students! They were an A-level group studying freshwater ecology, so we went to the meadow pond and to the woodland pond and did a lot of pond dipping. We found loads of baby newts (known as efts, but I think newtpoles is cuter, at least for the littlest ones) and a grown-up newt, lots of waterboatmen, plenty of non biting midge larvae (aka Chironomus, which we were looking for) and billions of Daphnia. A good day. So far I like the new job Very Much.

And this one as well, which has some repeats but some extras and more close ups.   http://www.petercallesen.com/index/index2.html  So amazing.  Ah, to be so skilled!  I guess I could be with lots of time, practice and patience, but I think I’d get too frustrated.
