This tiny fungus photographed in Taiwan is believed to be Mycena subcyanocephala.
Its blue color only appears in the young stage, making these pictures an extremely precious observation.







The Volkswagen Auto-haus Nordstadt dealer in Hannover, Germany, had a very creative director back in the 1970s and 1980s named Günter Artz.
In 1973, Artz built a Porsche 911-powered Volkswagen that caught the attention of many people, leading him to establish his modification business ARTZ, a subsidiary of Nordstadt.
To create this Volkswagen Mr. Artz combined several vehicles. It started with the body of a VW 1302 (flat glass), the chassis of a 914 and the mechanics of a Porsche 911. While the car was being manufactured VW launched the 1303 (round glass) Mr. Artz then decided to put the roof from the 1303 onto his project. To achieve that factory “look”, almost everything on the 3 platforms was modified, 1000 hours were used in welding alone! In the end the result was a Volkswagen 1303 “mid engine” with 210hp and a 5speed in a chassis that could keep up with the best sports cars of its time.

That would be fun to show up to Porsche car club and drive that.
