Lead an event with the Microscopical Society of SF today on using #Foldscopes in the field.

No, no es un agujero negro en mitad de la playa.
Es #Peziza pseudoammophila, un hongo muy raro. Y es una buena noticia que haya aparecido también en las playas de L'Albufera regeneradas artificialmente a finales de 2023.
