Mushroom melanin

Melanin is a common class of pigments found in nature, including human skin and browning bananas. Isolated, it’s worth more than gold, pound for pound. That’s because despite a lot of potential applications for the material, efforts to economically produce melanin in large quantities by synthesis, fermentation, or extraction have so far failed. Now researchers at EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, may have found a way to get it by culturing the fungus Armillaria cepistipes. Under the right growth conditions, A. cepistipes will secrete melanin—as shown by the yellow, orange, and brown color colors in the photo above—instead of just hoarding the pigment in its cells. The EMPA team says if they can scale up the method, it could enable melanin to be used affordably in dyes, antifungal treatments, and even aquatic lead abatement. — Craig Bettenhausen

took a walk today with my friend and her weiner dog! She convinced me not to brush my curls. We used a different beach entrance than my regular and it was so pretty I took a picture of it!

Toast liquid lipstick by Anastasia Beverly Hills is one of my most fave lip colors! Also, new sunnies debut!

for those who are struggling with having and finding purpose: maybe, for now, your purpose is waking up in the morning and taking on the day ahead. maybe your purpose is continuing to live despite it all.
